Any ideas on this nice looking grass-dweller? |

Posted - 22/04/2024 : 19:05:48 Yes indeed, last year I noted in my files the possibility of a synonymy between Somatolita and Mimassinia, and 15 days ago I asked again for the type of Mimassinia orientalis in Berlin to find out what it is! So to be continued and bravo for this remark which somehow confirms the idea I had. But I'm waiting for the Mimassinia type. |

Posted - 18/05/2020 : 12:30:44 Oui ! Très très bonne espèce ! Il s'agit vraisemblablement de Mimassinia orientalis Breuning ! Rare espèce, j'ai un specimen en collection et je n'ai vu qu'un autre ex dans la collection Téocchi et le type qui est à Berlin je crois de mémoire ? Très bonne espèce ! |
