Forum Entomologi Italiani

Stenosis sp?
Size:5 mm

Yes Tenebrionidae family, but it belongs to another, very difficult genus, with a lot of species in Greece and Turkey:
Laena sp.
W. Schawaller from Stuttgart museum, is expert in this genus.
Ciao,
George

Thank you very much for the genus and the expert suggestion.
I asked it him and said he is almost sure that it is Laena ferruginea.

O kadar yaygınsa ben niye bulamıyorum

Uzman aynı zamanda bu türün Yunanistan ve Türkiye'de yaygın olduğunu da söyledi.Ben bir taşın altında buldum.

The expert also said that this species was widespread in Greece and Turkey.I found it under a stone.

I have many years to talk directly with Mr. Schawaller, but I am pleased every time I hear about him.
Perhaps a great achievement from his part is, that all the scientific works of the Stuttgart Museum (which are numerous), are totally free in the Internet, to anyone interested to studying them !!!

In our case, the revision of Schuster (1916) might be a good help to an accurate determination of Laena specimens, for anyone who understands (minimally) the German language.
