Forum Entomologi Italiani

Visto che in giro ci sono Aleksei e Enrico Ruzzier posto anche questo esemplare che mi lascia incerto; mm 4,0. leg. Righini D. Grazie.

Per me si tratta di A. rossii

Grazie Enrico!

I think this is something another: this beetle is distinctly paler (in particular, its antennae and legs) and more "shaggy-looking" with long erect hairs along pronotal margins, the legs are more robust...
Alas, that's all I can say, as this beast is unknown to me. Perhaps this is some North African species. I think it's better to ask Andreas Herrmann.

Thank you too! I was in doubt too for your same reasons; bands and maculae are vague, not defined and as you say it has very long hairs on all the body. I show the ventral side.
