Thank you, dear Piet, that is very interesting! Though Speight & Sommaggio 2010 give a detailed description of X. dives, nothing is said about a differing colour of the hind legs. Do you point to the fact that the tibia is very dark so that the dark ring is not discernible?
Well, it seems that X. dives is a common species here, at least as common as X. pedisequum - what a surprise! So the find lists should be complemented, but whose task is this? I really do not know whom to inform...
Thanks and best wishes, Sundew
