Hi Sundew,

Sorry, these pics are unidentifiable. I could note that this species belongs to the P. pallidiventris – cursitans group but this is almost nothing because the group is too large (and the most difficult within the genus), and many species are quite cryptic. Generally, the dorso-lateral aspect is the best for the identification of Platypalpus after pics. The dorsal view is almost useless.

All the best,

Igor Shamshev
