a very nice photo of a male Villa of the hottentotta-panisca group. i suspect it might be modesta but would need the specimen to be sure (and even then might not be).

Hi David,

thanks a lot for your help. I am sorry, i have only this foto and no specimen for the exact determination. Perhaps some informations about the location can help.
Hohtenn is a very hot place in the Canton Wallis on the southern side of the alps.

Best regards
Urs
