Early May, Vienna. Fore tarsi are dark and the black abdominal stripe widens towards the end of T5

ok, in Tschorsnig's key it says 'fore tarsus yellow' - I read this as all the tarsi would be yellow, but apparently it should read: fore metatarsus? When I checked Steven Falk's Flickr Album, the specimen he shows an magnicornis also has the fore metatarus more orange then the other tarsal segments: https://www.flick...303603490/ Edited by Carnifex on 03-04-2024 09:22 Cheers, Lorin Font Color All requests are from the urban area of Vienna, if not otherwise stated.

First of all, that is a male. Never compare femalex with males. Secondly, i disagree. Metatars 1 is dark, only metatars 2 is orange. Theo |
