Forum Entomologi Italiani

Hi,

at the beginning of July I have visited Portugal (north part) for few days, that part is not good from entomological point of view.
is this Cryptocephalus vittatus Fabricius, 1775 ?
collected in 6.july.2010 in a small clearing at the edge of River Beça (41.562569°/-7.819298°).

Grazie,
cosmln

P.S. sorry for the quality of my photos for a period (my new camera is dead, the old one is in bad shape and the lens is almost dead)

It's possible, but please wait for the opinion of a specialist. Possibly enneaccatre would identify it confidently.

Cryptocephalus vittatus, without doubts. The only European species with such combination of characters: black, impunctate pronotum, black legs, vittate elytra.

Hi Lech,
thank you for confirmation.
