We seem to remember reading a discussion
of the fact that one needs to see the underside to tell an unmarked Prosapia bicincta from a regular dark Prosapia ignipectus.

Prosapia bicincta
Not likely to be P. ignipectus this far south.

Prosapia ingnipectus
On second thought, there are indeed some records from PA, and the leg joints are certainly as brightly colored as in P. ignipectus. Watch for more, and try to shoot their underside next time.
