Thanks Paolo,

Actually I think I shot both of them. I have two specimens, one larger than the other and with a different tone of red. Can you check if they can be differentiated?
Thanks,

Guillermo

That is very hard to say.

Probably the first is H. gogorzae ,
and the second H. miranda,

but without the specimen I cannot be sure 100%.
