Don't know. One should go through a lot of portraits of both species and see how it goes.

P.S.: You lost a word in the title ;)


Thanks, oh crap, I noticed that only now, I guess the guys who checked the grammar and spelling before publishing somehow missed that one... Oh well, it happens :)

Bero, just a few Sicilians checked and I'd say "no". Is this published for Istria? In that case, good to know!

Would say, this from Krk Airport is gemo too - never saw a black one there ;)
This from Pag island has to be gemonensis :lol:

If one of you would find a sure key to part these two - he would get eternize :P ;) :lol: :shock:

... since on Pag there is no viridiflavus at all. And all gemonensis there look like normal gemonensis.

answer by the boss :lol: :lol: :
maybe you would have an overall picture!'?

One thing, I found out, but only about 60 to 70% on individuals, is: gemo has two points on head, while these two points in viridiflavus extend to a bar between the eyes.
And viridiflavus looks a bit more (but what is a bit? :lol: ) more striped.
