Hi Grzegorz,

To my knowledge nothing was published on this subject.

Here is a link to a discussion on a French forum where some attempts to distinguish last instar of both species were made :

http://www.insecte.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=56056&hilit=129568

I think with the keywords (tibia, pronotum, etc) you can understand most of it, but let me know if you need a translation.

Grzegorz Gierlasiński

Thanks Xikun.

Vincent, thanks for the link to french forum. It is very interesting discussion and shows how complicated is this problem. But I believe it could be solved :)

Best regards.
