Hello! This was found by Varga József, in Hungary today. Because the stripe on the last tergit is quite thin, and there isn’t red colour in the body, i would say, that this is a Gonia foersteri. Please, could you confirm me? Or did I make a mistake, and this isn’t foersteri? I saw some pictures about G. picea, and It seems very similar to foersteri. What is the difference?

To be honest, many “foersteri” are dark divisa. From Russia, I have seen many intermediates. So, I am pretty confused. DNA analysis might help .

I understand.. so this species isn’t really determinable about photoes? And, isn’t this can be confised with picea?
