I come back here with an old topic. A few years back I have submitted some Ochraethes spec. from Mexico here.

On the photo, the same specimen in the top row, with a second one from the same series. Guerrero, Acahuizotla.
The second row shows three newly recieved ones, same location: Guerrero, Colon. They do match pretty well Ochraethes sommeri - but in this case, what about the other ones?

Pierre, O. sommeri is highly variable.

I have examples much like yours (and some even darker), and that is where I have them in my collection.

I had some doubts with O. cristoforii. Ochraethes seem to be champions of variability... thank you, Larry.
