Another individual. May or may not be conspecific with the previous. From the same date and location.

Dear Xes... I just yesterday explained you one feature to immediately distinguish pertinax (by its yellow front and mid tarsae) B)

That is what I thought. But did not know whether it was ok for males as well.

Thx for the help, I am slowly getting along with this genus.

Gabor - also the noticably tapering abdomen is a good clue for E pertinax
