Could you take a lateral photo of facial gibbosity? It looks rather small, not typical to Neoepitriptus and Machimus/Tolmerus.


Unfortunately, the specimens have been returned to the collector, so I can't take any new photos, as for now...

However, below I attach an existing ventrolateral photo of one of the females, where the facial gibbosity is more viewable and some of the bristles of the beard obscuring it have been removed. It seems that it is pretty developed and within the "normal" for Machimini.
