Nice one. I don’t know how to rule out Epocilla aurantiaca , google images is telling me they look very similar but I didn’t see a representative from a reliable source, so I don’t know if they’re labeled right. Maybe I’ll read up on them when I have a little more time. The genus looks good at least!
…and there is also praetextata which is similar
Yes, it is … good to know. Google only wanted to show me E. calcarata when I did a search for it. I just found a photo in “Kananbala et al., 2014” but it’s in alcohol so some of the details are faded. Edit: I see thesame image in my google image search now, I didn’t scroll down far enough.
Note to admin.: genus needed for Epocilla.
Moved.
