Very close, but not totally! This is a female Criorhina berberina, color form oxyacanthe, in floccosa the hairs on the abdomen are shorter and flat instead of longer and standing as in this animal, and in the corner of tergite 2 there are no long white hairs as in floccosa! greetings Greetings, Gerard Pennards |
