Thank you - the ? means N. cf.pallida? Huge genus, as I just learned :-)

Hi Jörg, the ? means, that I cannot count the dorsocentrals to be 100% sure about N. pallida, which should have 7 dc.
The other candidates (quadrifasciata and erichsoni) differ in the abdominal dorsal pattern - this is not clearly visible.
For me it is N. pallida, but I haven't seen enough variants of these to define precisely.
