Clarification for Stenodema trispinosum guide page

I would like to edit the Stenodema trispinosum page (and possibly the genus page as well) to clarify the key id character. The Identification section says "the three spines on the hind femur separate it from other congeners" but I would like to know if someone can confirm, is the difference that other species have *no* spines on the metafemur, or they have some spines (but not 3), or something else?

Here's a link to
