The gonostyli have pointed narrow hook-like extensions neat the base, which are not directed towards the tip. Pherbellia alpina does not have these extensions, according to the figures in Rozkosny's 1991 key. The illustration in that key for albicarpa has a closer resemblance but Rozkosny's figure shows two shorter extensions...
