Hi everyone, Here is specimen caught close to my previous specimen H montana in the Pyrenes. I believe this is H distinguenda, with those yellow hairs on reddish abdominal part and red on 4 tergites (and fin space between eyes). To confirm, I looked to find subgenital plate. In order to do so, I tryed extracting what lies under last sternite, but I only manage to find an hidden sternite. Before making another butchery (extraction wasn't succesfull, see last picture), I ask for some advise: do I have to look under last sternite (like I'd do for Sylvicola) or is there a better/other way to do so?  clovis : France : Bolquère : 66210 : 23/07/2021 Altitude : 1720 m - Taille : 15 mm Réf. : 318753  clovis : France : Bolquère : 66210 : 23/07/2021 Altitude : 1720 m - Taille : 15 mm Réf. : 318754  clovis : France : Bolquère : 66210 : 23/07/2021 Altitude : 1720 m - Taille : 15 mm Réf. : 318755  clovis : France : Bolquère : 66210 : 23/07/2021 Altitude : 1720 m - Taille : 15 mm Réf. : 318756 |

The hidden “sternite” = subgenital plate. I can see it loud and clear in your pic. And yes, this should be female distinguenda. Theo |

So mistery of the hidden sternite is now solved!  A good thing I didn't butcher this subgenital plate! Many thanks on preventing that and confirmation! |
