Hello! A big one, in a Lemon tree, taken in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Maybe Proctacanthus?

Efferia group of genera; need more magnif.

Cheers,

Eric

Regards Eric! English is not my native language, so I'm not sure what you mean by "magnif." I have this other photo of the individual, in case it serves to confirm the ID.

Thanks,

Lucas.

Ah, buenísimo entonces. Puedo subir la misma pero recortada para que se vea más grande:

Thanks Jorge; beautiful detail! To be safe, you could call it Efferia (s.l.) sp. Some authorities split this genus into a number of additional genera; possibly this is Porasilus or, if not, then Albibarbefferia (former has anatergal setae, latter lacks them).

Cheers,

Eric
