The only part I hesitated was the mention of "face between strongly convex parafacials is bare" - so for clarification, there are hairs on a structure above the proboscis - is this the clypeus rather than the face?

I wanted a digital version to better be able to translate it, but with an English key this is fine Cheers, Lorin Font Color All requests are from the urban area of Vienna, if not otherwise stated.
