Forum Entomologi Italiani

Ciao,

n° 4391 (♀) & n° 4392 (♂) captured in Cne : Cussy-les-Forges (Dépt. Yonne - France) - 12.09.2007

♂ & ♀ were on the same stere of wood cut on the ground and piled up under beeches.

Although not copulating I think that it is about the same species .

The ♀ n° 4391 having tarsi 3 blackish, the ♂ n° 4392 having them partly whitish, I believed that this ♀ was a variety of X. (X.) filiformis, whereas it is the normal color of its tarsi 3 !
Fortunately, In a preceding message on this forum, Jacek Hilszczanski has rectified my error (Again I thank it !).

Xorides (Xorides) filiformis (Holmgren 1860) (♂ & ♀)
Vive anche in Italia (to see : Fauna europaea)

Saluti.
