Figures

I see a bunch of the more obvious orange ones in the same habitat.

… James Bailey, 16 April, 2016 - 12:01pm

Great...

the orange ones are the males. Feel free to upload a shot to confirm/complete the IDy.

… Frans Janssens, 16 April, 2016 - 12:26pm

Will do

funny, I have them down as "nr. nigrocincta" rather than atrocincta. Don't remember what that meant.

… James Bailey, 17 April, 2016 - 12:35am

It means:

before the revision of Katz & al 2015 these specimens were tentativelly called nr nigrocincta given they resembled the European E. nigrocincta.

Thanks!

Yeah I understand the concept of "nr.", just not in this sense. So any previous "nr nigrocincta" are now atrocincta?

… James Bailey, 17 April, 2016 - 11:58am

Quite right

pre 2015 nr nigrocincta specimens are now called atrocincta sensu Katz & al 2015.
