Femora orange/ brown (exactly as bigoti). Is it ok for italica ? BLecaplain attached the following image:  [136.38Kb] Edited by BLecaplain on 05-09-2024 13:28 |

The first segment is not so long as italica in direct comparaison with the other specimen in my other post. (And I found two specimens of gallica in our pro collection, identified by M. Portillo, same area, North western France) Edited by BLecaplain on 10-09-2024 16:04 |
