2736 ♀ captured at an altitude of 1310/1320 m. in Cne : Pontarlier (Dépt. Doubs - France) - 23.06.1993
I observed on the capture:
- Lg.: 3rd antennal segment/ocular diameter = 0.95
- Hind tarsus 3 is obviously shorter than Tibia 3 (see photo)
- Legs 3 with inner spur not reaching middle of 1st tarsal segment (see photo)
But I could not calculate the respective lengths of antennae and head + thorax.
According to
Zhelokhovtsev p. 337 , it is the sub-genus
Laurentia (=
Astochus).
fulvipes belongs to this sub-genus.
Moreover :
- The forewings are clear [forewings hyaline with brown transverse band under Stigma, for
discolor (Klug 1817)]
According to
Enslin, it is the sp.
fulvipes.
Attention if we uses without precaution the key (too much brief) of Blank, one arrives almost immediately, to alpinum (which is not a Astochus), because our capture has a one single enclosed cell on the hindwings (all others Aglaostigma have normally two cells enclosed).
I consider that this characteristic, presents on our capture, must be interpreted like an aberration and does not call into question its belonging to the sp. fulvipes.
Heibo shows the photo of alpinum, but one sees nothing ventrally & laterally.Being given the
aberration on the hind wings and the
divergences existing between our capture and the
fulvipes typus,
I wonder whether it is not a news sp. (of the sub-genus
Astochus) !, however I make of it a
fulvipes.
Finally :
Aglaostigma (Astochus) fulvipes (Scopli 1763) ♀ [with aberration]
