Forum Entomologi Italiani

Hi ,

In this trip I collected also a few Trichius specimens, I think all of them are T. fasciatus, but 2 specimens (1 male and 1 female) are somehow different (maybe is just the variability of the species )

First the female :

In this specimen is interesting the tooth on the middle tibia, because is shorter than in the others specimens....but the others characters seems to fit well for T. fasciatus










Here is the male, this specimen have on the second abdominal sternite white scales, but the aedegus and the others characters fit well for T. fasciatus :S
