Forum Entomologi Italiani

Hi,

this two where collected in 8.july.2010 (pitfall trap between 29.june and 8.july), Babes Mountains (45.46291/25.92923) in a mixed forest (beech and fir) at ~950m altitude, leg. Cosmin O. Manci. size of the specimens is ~15 mm? I presume that are from the same species.

Is possible to put a name from photo?

Grazie,
cosmln

Ciao,

Abax sp.

Giuseppe

hi cosmin

Abax sp. , can you make a lateral picture of a tarsus, to see whether onychium ventrally is setose or glabrous?

hi cosmin

a lot of setae... but none under onychium (the last tarsomere, bearing the claws)

Abax (s. str.) parallelus parallelus (Duftschmid, 1812)
