Max atoms/species

Hello,
I have converted a qe calculation to yambo and all the parameters in the conversion seem correct (lattice parameters, number of electrons etc.).
I have 48 atoms in my cell and I noticed that in 'Max atoms/species' 36 is reported, why is that? Is this related to the maximum number of one of the species of atoms, instead of the maximum atoms? (which, in this case, it's the correct number)
I have done some calculations with this pwx file and everything seems correct, also the band gap from KS calculation is the same.

Sincerely,

Dear Laura,
Max atoms/species indicated the max number of atoms per species.
The atomic position matrix is then dimensioned as: atom_pos(3,n_atoms_species_max,n_atomic_species)
Best,
Daniele
