Forum Entomologi Italiani

Hello,

I found this bug one week ago, on sunny meadow:




In this case I am confused, but following according with a key I think it is Adelphocoris lineolatus. Ok ?

Best regards
Grzegorz

Adelphocoris lineolatus/quadripunctatus
You should examine the male genitalia and this specimen is a male.

Thanks for answer

I have one more question. Wagner (in his key to Miridae) wrote about black hair on dorsal side of hemelytra:

1 (12) Dorsal side covered by short, pale setae, without black hair --> 2

Here is the part of key with every species without QUADRIPUNCTATUS

And the last point:

12 (1) Dorsal side with small, black haire, mixed with pale and shining hairs. --> Quadripunctatus

I cannot see black hair in my photo, therefore I exclude A. quadripunctatus. What do you think about this ?

Best regards
Grzegorz

Are talking about Die Miridae Hahn, 1831, des Mitelmeerraumes und der Makaronesischen Inseln (Hemiptera, Heteroptera) ?

No. I mean "Faune de France, tom 67. Heteropteres Miridae. E. WAGNER et H. H. WEBER", Paris 1964"

I don't have this german key. Is this available online? In PDF file, for example ?

Best regards
Grzegorz

NO!
I didn't notice that A.annulicornis is a junior synonym of A.quadripunctatus
So you are right, it is A.lineolatus

Ok. Now everything is clear
