Hi. I was wondering whether the Statilia nemoralis in culture are really Statilia nemoralis and not another Statlia species. In South Korea we have a Statilia nemoralis, but they are green in color (maybe brown, too, I don't know), and the uncommon green "Statilia maculata" sightings in South Korea are thought to be of the Statlia nemoralis there.

Statlia from South Korea I think, and she (?) is part brown and green, interesting:

Here I think it says that Statilia nemoralis coxa has no black mark/patch, but that Statilia maculata does.

Here is a picture of an adult male Statilia nemoralis from Nepal that does not even have black on the inside of coxa:

Statilia nemoralis in culture in the United States have the black patch on the inside of coxa...

Green Statilia nemoralis from South Korea and other areas (like southern China) have the black markings in inside of coxa, too:

This one might be misidentified as a Statlia nemoralis, I am thinking it is a Statilia maculata from it's black patch on it's underside of thorax between the two front legs:

It says here that the Statlia nemoralis don't have the black band on the underside of the thorax between the two front legs, while Statlia maculata does:

This might be the "Statilia nemoralis" that is in culture in the hobby, not sure (has black patch on underside of thorax from what I can see in the photo):

Does anyone know if the "Statilia nemoralis" kept here in the US have the black patch on the underside of the thorax? And if there are several lines of said to be Statilia nemoralis in culture?

Brown male Statilia with black patch on underneath of thorax mating with green Statilia female (are they the same species?), says S. nemoralis comes in green and brown:

If someone could shed any light on the subject, thank you.
