With "top" i did not mean dorsal but apical. "The top tibia like-spur" is a bristle. "typical spur in the ventral apical tibia" is thee spur i mean! This specimen differs considerably from both other known species. I would appreciate Jonas opinion very much on this matter. It might be a new species.

Ok, so you should tell apical because Top is indicative of dorsal . Yes, we have a spur in apical position, so might be a new species of Paraphamartania? |

Interesting, Difficult to interpret from pictures only... But I tend to agree with Paraphamartania (and if so, an undescribed species) but I have some doubts.. To name one: the lack of dorsocentral and scutellar bristles is striking (note that females of P. stukei lack scutellar bristles, but have distinctive DC). For this I am curious - Jorge, how many did you collect? :-) The typical genital structure in both male and female are very distinctive and can be assessed in hand. I will meet Reinoud again pretty soon so it might be interesting to see this specimen in hand/detail? At moment I still have to return the types of P. syriaca and marvaoensis (shame on me). A+ |

Sixty specimens or so . This is so common that in the last weekend I collected nearly 20.... I have some photos that shows maideny the genitalia... looks like acantophorites... Edited by jorgemotalmeida on 17-09-2014 08:48 |
