Very similar species occur en masse in Japan. As far as I know they are Sciapus spp. There are many similar species unfortunately. |

Hi, Nikita! Good start. This is a representative of quite numerous in Australasia genus Chrysosoma, most probably leucopogon group of species. The midleg is rather species-specific. Unfortunately, taxonomists professional in Oriental Dolis are still not registered here. Best wishes, Igor. |
