Thanks, the wings are still there, they are just parallel to the camera, and the depth of field is so small they are also blurred, making them hard to see.

Please note the tarsal rake on her forelegs. Thanks

Good point...will edit to indicate female.

Thanks

Your detailed wing venation image here clearly shows the small 2nd submarginal cell uniquely diagnostic of species taeniatus within the genus. For more details, see the species "Info" page (which I recent updated from an empty shell).

PS: Efram, if you still have access to the specimen, it would be a real coup if you could get detailed images of the other unique character of species taeniatus...namely, the presence of minute spines in the undersides of the 5th tarsal segments.

I will check to see if I still have it, , I might have pointed it, but looking back at how the wings are spread for photographing, I dont think I did. I know it was 3 years ago, but I could give GPS coordinates to the location I found it.

I'll let you know later if I still have it.

i will add both
