Found this one in the garden today. I have 3 in my Checklist; P.nigritarsis, P.pallidventris and P.strigifrons. This one does have some black on the tarsi, but is it as obvious as that? Roger Thomason attached the following image:  [134.66Kb] Edited by Roger Thomason on 05-07-2009 22:54 |

Annulated tarsi and, what appear to be but not very distinct, brownish basal segments to the antennae: P. pallidiventris. That is, if it is indeed one of the three mentioned species.
