Thank you Igor. With very dry situation in Senegal I had time to collect Medetera. This species is most common and I collected 15-20 specimens. Another species (less, short and dark legs, unusualy large male genitalia) is much more rare, but still 5 collected. Nikita Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |
