Dear Gerard,
P. urakawensis is quite similer to P. albimanus. Look at the picture of No.1227, please. We can distinguish the former from the latter by the characteristics of frontal leg. The antero-outer corner of tibia is round in the former and sharp in the latter. The basitarsus is the broadest at the center in the former and at the anterior margin in the latter. Sincerely yours,
Sorry, I had a mistake.
The number of photograph is No.1229 but No.1227. |
