Newly discovered / described species 2018

Thank you for those regular news vogelcommando !
Did you know if we can find pictures for every new species ?

 

Thank you for the intrest Clem !
I don't think there are photos of every new discribed species. In many of the original articles you will find photos but from many species only detail-drawings of surtain parts of the animal will be published because the new species is / are very similar to already known species and the difference is so small that only by detail-drawings the species can be told apart.
