Dear John,

I have checked the golden hairs of the two femurs from different points of view and lighting and I see the same, with little golden hairs.

I also have the male (collected on the same site as the female) with the genitalia extracted but I tried to compare it with P.rudis and P. hungarica and I'm not able to distinguish them... I also see the golden hairs at the f2, f3 and 1+2 and 3 abdominal terguites; and 1 ad on t2. Unfortunately, I didn't see these long hairs between the av at the t3. What a headache!

Best regards,

Miguel Ángel
