As young males, these 4 are grouped together due to the similar pattern
on the abdomen. Of these 4, only brachiale and guineense have dark
claspers with julia and stemmale having white claspers. The Pt of julia
in most cases turns black very fast. Also see the id table for fully pruinosed males PDF. |
