Totally black Stevenia. Normally they are very jumpy, but this one preferred my warm fingers over a cold leaf in the cool, early morning.

Yes, Andre, that is the female of Stevenia cf. umbratica. The genus is badly in need of a revision. Theo |

Are there any genera that don't need revisions???  Very nice, an ID to species level, even with the "cf.".  Weer bedankt, Theo!

Zeegers wrote: you know there is a second species on Madeira? Yes, usta.  So, a revision is urgently needed. By the way, do you know when this usta was seen for the last time?
