Did you ever get feed back from the expert?
I'm not sure about the difference between xavierae and punctate anymore

Sent specimen/No feedback
I sent a single specimen to Jacques Rifkind at Vassili Belov's suggestion. I searched and the only emails I have from him concerned where to mail the specimen and finding more (I didn't at that time) since determinations were sometimes possible only with females. (Update: got in touch with him and he never received the specimen.)
