 Aside from Sepsis punctum, which is distinctive in having only one pair of postsutural dorsocentrals, species of Sepsis are identified largely based on the shape of the underside of the male fore femur and the pattern of pruinosity on the pleura.

I have just received the very sad news that Peter Chandler has died after a fall at home yesterday. I have no other details at the moment. We shall miss him terribly.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
