Characteristics of our capture :
* A : Tegulae black
* B : Femora 3 ochrous
* C : Stigma not black (basal half white & apical half piceous)
* D : Trochanters 3 & base of Femora 3 white

(Do not confuse with didymus, see viewtopic.php?f=11&t=60989 )

Thus A & B & C & D --> melanarius

[The ♂ seems extremely rare]

melanarius was also captured in Italy
