This looks C.vicina to me, but is it normal that this one has 3 setae in katepisternum. All of my other ones have seems to have only two. Lappeenranta, Finland, September, not collected, front and dorsal views available if needed.

Henry – I would be very surprised if this turned out to be anything other than vicina given the clear yellow of the anterior spiracle in particular. The extent of redness on the face, the yellowy brown basicosta/tegula and the broad white border on the darkened lower calypter also speak strongly for vicina. Have you checked Rognes' description? (I would, but don't have access at this moment.)

Possibly an aberrant seta. this occurs (not uncommon, I'd say 1 : 1000). It is vicina, as Susan explained. Theo |
