Yeah, I was thinking that, but since gigantea and virdicornis both have 17 total, and no more, something having 19 would have to be something else, unless extra segments can be added when they regenerate. Also, there is some amount of variation in the number of smooth basal segments, and total segments, even among the same species. Knowing the number would just make it easier to rule certain species out.Steven said:don't have the keys are at the office,... will look it up for ya and post them this weekend,... promise !
PS: total antennae segment count isn't that reliable as they can loose some when they get stuck etc...
amount of smooth basil antennea segments is more accurate tmo.
