In 1920 Hampson described a female as:

Head and thorax brownish orange; palpi black at tips; fore and mid-tibiae black, hind tibiae black at base and extremity, the tarsi black; abdomen bright orange with dorsal, lateral, and sub-lateral series of black points.

Nigeria, Old Calabar (Sampson), 1 F type. Exp. 44 millim.[2]

gollark: Of course it does. I DEMAND Turing machines in my documents.

gollark: Unfortunately, it is not Turing-complete. Unless you preprocess repeatedly, in which case it is.

gollark: It could probably be interfaced to pandoc for *tons* of output formats.

gollark: Actually, this may unironically not be a bad idea, you could easily mix in code and plots and such.

gollark: Maybe what we *really* need is an elegant typesafe Haskell DSL for defining documents.
