Forum Entomologi Italiani

Ciao,

n° 2578 ♀ captured in Cne : Ornans (Dépt. Doubs) - 15.06.1993

This Xorides has the tarsi 3 partly whitish and the tip of the abdomen blackish.
In a preceding message on this forum, I had confused this insect with Xorides (X.) filiformis who is very close,
Fortunately Jacek Hilszczanski has rectified my error (Again I thank it !).

Thus Xorides (X.) sepulchralis (Holmgren 1860) var. schmiedeknechti Clément 1938 ♀
Vive anche in Italia (to see : Fauna europaea)

Saluti.
