Hi again!

He is a E. tenax for sure. 'He' is also a female.;) I'm not quite sure what black tuft you are tal?king about. The characteristic vertical hair stripes are not very well visible in this pic. Take a look at

The 2nd pic (from ventral side) shows the hair pattern quite well, and it is also visible in the head shot as two darker lines crossing the eye.


Cheers,
Kahis
