Miramella alpina - in copula (4744' N 1550' E)

Description:

2011-09-28 Lower Austria, district Neunkirchen (1525 msm Quadrant 8261/3).German name: Alpine GebirgsschreckeIt looks like if the female lost its left hind-leg.Sub-divided by some zoologists into several distinct species which one could only distinguish by dissection of genitalia, of those three are also common in Austria (namely, besides M. alpina, M. carinthica, M. irena and M. formosanta).No attempt at making this distinction made, which is why I stick to the hypernym of M. alpina.
