Forum Entomologi Italiani

Hello again,

this time I need some hint to recognize this bug:



Firstly I thought about Orthoschizops reticulata, but my specimen have not got two big teeth on fore femur and the shape of front of head is different.
Therefore I think now it is not O. reticulata.

Best regards
Grzegorz

Apodiphus amygdali?

Orthoschizops reticulata is a south african species!!
Of course it is Apodiphus amygdalis. Also there is A.integriceps which shows a more eastern distribution (Turkey is its westernmost distribution which means it doesn't recorded from Europe.)
See some specimens of this species:

See the difference:

Thanks Baris for this answer.
Heteroptera of this part of Europe is still very misterious to me

Best regards
Grzegorz
