Philinopsis cyanea
(Martens, 1879)
» If you find this species has been misidentified, please let us know
Identification is verified by Richard Willan, Nudi Pixel expert
Comment from Richard Willan: A rather "typical" individual with many orange and white spots on the head shield and posterior shield. But because this species is so variable in terms of coloration, it is impossible to really pick out any individual that could be called "typical". Note the raised and rounded posterior end to the head shield – at least that is a "typical" character for this species.
