I'd greatly appreciate any help with this Usiini from the Sierra de Cazorla mountains in southern Spain. I first thought of Usia, but the design of the mesonotum is more alike that of some Protypusia or Parusia than Usia. cmherrera attached the following image:  [129.94Kb] Edited by cmherrera on 27-01-2026 11:29 |
