Valery, any new thoughts on this aberrant specimen? I noticed also that there seems to be variation in the colour of the last abdominal segment of the females. Here it is glossy black as in some photo's of zoe I have seen, but most often it appear to be yellow or yellowish brown. I did not find anything about this in the (few) descriptions of the species I have.
