It is a homoneurine (as Paul alluded), but this is a female of Wawu queenslandensis Kim. Nice find - not very common in collections. Too bad it isn't a male, because they are REALLY spectacular with a median horns on the face. Although W. queenslandensis is nowhere near so spectacular as W. monstruosus, here is a photo of the latter. |

Thanks Steve. The male is very spectacular. Hopefully one will blunder into the malaise trap eventually. Cheers, Graeme |
