  1. Hi Jivko,
    In Bulgaria you also have C.arcuata and these are virtually impossible to separate from photos like these (the patterns are too variable for reliable ID). Best would be to also have a very good close-up of the head structure, but most of all a good shot of the underside. The ventral colour patterns supposedly _are_ diagnostic :o)
