Hi,
I would like your opinion on this specimen.
Between P meridionalis and P lapidarius, I can't find to witch one the specimen refer to.

This one looks like P meridionalis

Lower occiputal hairs are ginger, a good side view of the head, a close up will show it for sure Smile

Sorry for the delay, i didn't saw you answered!

I'm not so sure anymore, i think the ginger coloration is from the yellow light i used for taking the picture. Here is another picture, and pilosity looks black (under binocular too) taken with the flash.
