Sterbai or not?

Post by RIPbiglad »

I got a couple of what were sold as sterbai at the weekend from different places. One is definately a sterbai the other im not sure. It has the same marking as a sterbai but has more brown than black markings on it. Is it still a sterbai or would it be something else. Sorry I dont have any photos

Probably both C. sterbai, but without a photo, I'm afraid it's very difficult. There are a few species that are sometimes possible to confuse with C. sterbai - C. haraldschultzi would be the prime candidate.
