Hi Johan, I agree, this one was not happy to be photographed and this is actually the only photo that was not blurred. Therefore exact ID is improbable. I'm happy to has sp and lucky.
Dez, sometimes in the book they give the species in the text like in this case and not on top of the section. (p.396) I added the sp. because of the 40 species in the region.
Thanks Johan!
