Hello all,
what Stichophthalma is it? There is no data, it is in a frame.
Thanks for ideas, Joachim

This is Stichopthalma camadeva.
Albeit, it's colors are a bit faded from being exposed to light.

Thanks, then I will think about uying it. camadeva seems to be difficult to obtain.

Oh' it's still a worthy specimen to keep because (you're right); the species is no longer available unless you get it from an old collection or from old papered stock that was never prepared.
