Snow Flea
Thank you for the ID. How do tell H. nivicola from H. harveyi?
… Steven Price, 6 March, 2007 - 6:13am login or register to post comments

 
H. nivicola versus harveyi
The main differences are:
1. the length of the antennae: shorter then head in nivicola; longer then head in harveyi
2. the size of the anal spines: very small (hardly visible) in nivicola; quite distinct in harveyi
