Iuri, non ti pare un favarius?

Maybe a Little late, or maybe to late, but:

To be absolutely sure we would need to see the tibial spur of a male beetle. In the third photo the spur is blurred, but seems to be anvil-shaped. In the seventh photo it seems to be in a slightly bow. What I don't know is, if the specimen, the photos are taken of, is always the same or did you take photos of different specimen? My first guess is, that Francesco Izillo is right in naming it Trichodes favarius. It's got the colouring of it and T. favarius occurs in Greece. The spur is the one Thing to separate it from T. holtzi. The others of T-favarius-Group are out of question in my mind.

Ciao
