Colour variant of Aegires villosus?

February 27, 2000
From: Scott Johnson

Hi Bill,

Attached is a photo of what I've been calling Aegires villosus from the Marshall Ids. Colors are similar to those figured on the Forum but with less background white showing. All the specimens I've seen here have similar coloration and vary in length from about 5 to 9mm.

Thanks Scott,
Certainly more coloured than the A. villosus I have seen, but I guess it could be a colour variant. Has anyone else any colour variations?
