Well spoken I have my doubts on the lower male, it looks like relictus, however, the hairs on the pleurae seem to be rather dark, which would suggest viduatus. This is the only pic ? Theo |

Yes, the hairs on the pleurae are yellow after all. So it isthe male of relictus. Without worry, this time Theo |
