Black winged dwarf hatchets

5. February 2009

There are two species of Black winged dwarf hatchets recognized. These charming little creatures hardly reach 3 cm in length. From Peru we get occasionally Carnegiella schereri with a spotted belly as a so-called by-catch of C. strigata, whereas Carnegiella marthae from Brazil has a lined belly and is now and then available assorted (214003).

Please note that we are supplying the wholesale trade only.
