Thank you Eric, it is a very feasible suggestion (it occurred to me too), but what bothers me are the very prominent light stripes on the notum, and the yellow
palps and the similarly colored basal antennal segments, that seem to be dark in photos of western specimens. (Attached a bad enlargement of the head to illustrate the latter points) Could these be characteristics of eastern or Rhodian populations? What do you think?

Thanks again!

Greetings,
Henrik
