This specimen was glued to a homemade paper point; a slight touch with the tweezes - and it fell off. I think that sometime during last three decades the specimen was gutted by, perhaps, a small carpet beetle larva. I now keep my collection in an old chest freezer with moth balls.

Just a warning to amateurs, like my self, store your specimens safely!

Please frass this image, and the face view, if of no benefit.

keep images

please retain this venter image and that of face. They provide diagnotic clues for this portion of the genus.
