Forum Entomologi Italiani

Is there anyone who can say which Omophlus species? I think it is Omophlus sp.
can someone please help me? I don't have enough literatures.

Hello Derya !!!
most probaly is Omophlus syriacus Muls., 1856 (length 10-15 mm / Syria and Akbes of SE Turkey)
or
Omophlus hirsutus Seidl., 1896 (length 12-18 m / Aintab (=Gaziantep) of Turkey).

Dear George
Thank you very much for your advise and help. I checked the Reitter's paper.
And I think it is Omophlus pilicollis marginatus Kirsch, 1869 (synonym: Omophlus marginatus). Because , unterside long, light grey/yellow hair, upper side with same hairs. elytra black and without tooth-shaped projections in the nail base.
best wishes, derya
