Is the strong white marking at the edge of the abdomenal segments important?
Or does it indicate only that the specimen is fresh?

Another image of the second individual. Hopefully it is not just a very pale female E. arbustorum.

You can find this character more often in
interrupta and
arbustorum/abusivus, especially the females, but it cannot be used as a solid character. These pics show (I am sorry) two not very pale
arbustorum females.
