It is certainly what I would call it, but I am not completely familiar with the Neartcic fauna...

A female? I would have thought it's a male.

Oeeps, it's a male! Getting so used to look at separation of the eyes that I sometimes forget that some genera don't have that feature! But yes, you're right Kahis, it is a male!  Greetings Greetings, Gerard Pennards |
