hmm, on what basis? :)

Mainly due to the pattern on abdomen, white hairs in humeral callus.
But I'm not sure, of course.

Hmm, possibly - I am not really sure about
rungsi because it isn't listed in the Central European key. The bold abdominal pattern tells me it is a female but I wouldn't like to say much more. Maybe Theo can add something ... if we could work out how to insert it into the Central European key then I'd be happy to update it :)

The white hairs are not hairs but dusting, present in most females Gymnosoma.
No idea what this is, but it is definitely not rungsi nor nudifrons. Nearly anything else is open for me.

Thanks Theo - do you know of a way to add
rungsi into the Central European key (it seems to be the only species that crops up frequently that isn't in the key) or is it all a bit too subjective anyway? :)

Crops up frequently ?? Out of 1000 Gymnosoma's seen, I have 3 possible rungsi's. Which seem to be 2 species....
Anyway, rungsi is supposed to be characteristed by the complete and total lack of any vibrissa-like hairs.
