Hi,

is this specimen correctly ID'ed as S. punctum?
Also I would like to know whether and how its sex can be determined.

It is a male because of the bulge and spines under the fore femur.

Thank you John,
may I ask if the species ID can be confirmed as well?

Only one pair of dc

header=[dc] body=[dorsocentral setae<br /><img src='infusions//terms/images/no_image.gif' style='vertical-align:middle;' />] delay=[0] fade=[on]

make that very likely.
