Hello everyone,
I know that this is difficult to determine, especially from a photo, but we can add something more?
Place of discovery: Boscotrecase (Naples) - Vesuvio on 21 December 2008
PS: Sorry my English translated with an online program :|

Hello Pietro,
thanks!
Pending Susan, what makes you suggest for these two species?

Susan writes about L. sericata:
Pale basicosta
3 post- sut. acr. setae
one a.d. setae on tibia 2
the palpi area yellow

Ciao Pietro,
then you are directed to
L. sericata, I can also translate into Italian ;)
We await the opinion, however, Susan!

Well done Pietro :) I would say this is a male
sericata. A male
richardsi would have the eyes almost touching, dark palpi and 2-3 ad on the mid tibia.
Sericata is also much more common. I don't think you would get any of the other species with pale basicostas such as occur on the other side of the Med, but I could be wrong.
