Forum Entomologi Italiani

Hello,
this Polydrusus ist 3,5 mm long. In the forum I find P. parallelus rather similar, but it seems to me that in my specimen the elytrae are less parallel. Is it P. parallelus? Or rather P. modestus?

Grazie,
Michael

After some time passing I again tried the old key of Schilsky. I now end at the pair P. parallelus / P. subnotatus, and the description of male of P. subnotatus seems to fit rather well. There is one other species - P. inopinatus - which is listed for Italia, and for which I can't find any information. But I think I will do nothing wrong when I label it Polydrusus cf. subnotatus.
