Ricorda i nostri Aradidae, ma è più pittoresco ....

While I was looking for Quilnus parvicollis (which is another Aradidae from Turkey) on the Internet,incidentally I saw a Aradidae which is really similar to yours.It was Dysodius lunatus.I am sure that the genus is right but I can't be sure about the right species.There is also another species,Dysodius magnuswhich is really similar to D.lunatus.So we should wait for eremicus for the the exact ID.

thanks for the help.
I will send other insects form amazonas

The shape of tylus seems to be useful for the discrimination between species. In this case it's simple (not bifidus as scissors)
I think it's D.lunatus.

There is a full revision of the genus Dysodius by Ernst Heiss:
