If you've had a look at the other
species of this genus within the Valais section you will appreciate the difficulty
of identifying them. Looking at the underside does help a little, none of
the underside photos were good enough to put in theses pages, good enough
to help identification though.
These particular specimen are from Hautes Pyrenees. |
