Ptenothrix sp. new
This time our sp.5.
With dark tibiotarsi, pale femora, dark antennae and short midline in the dorsal anterior part of the great abdomen.
You found a goldmine of new species, Thomas!
Two diagnostic characters of Ptenothrix well illustrated in your shot:
1. the spinelike macrosetae in the anterior dorsal part of the great abdomen
2. two strong unpaired midfacial macrosetae (followed by 2+2+1 midfacial setae).
