Our capture is a ♂, because there are 8 visible Sternits, the ♀ having only 6 visible Sternits.
(I was not able to make a good photo)
---
The Genera are sensu Constantineanu.
---
It is an Ichneumoninae, an Oxypygi Wesmael or an Amblypygi Wesmael.
No criterion, allowing to know to which sub-Tribe belongs a species ♂, is decisive alone.
---
Let us see the characteristics allowing to find the sub-Tribe to which belongs our capture :
- The Sternits 2/4 are longitudinaly folded (I was not able to make a good photo).
- It excludes the Amblypygi : Amblyteles (Otherwise the coloring is different), Automalus, Catadelphus, Limerodes, Trogus
- It excludes the Amblypygi : Hypomecus
- It excludes the Amblypygi : Acolobus, Listrodromus
- It excludes the Amblypygi : Hybophorus, Neotypus
- It excludes the Amblypygi : Anisobas
- It excludes the Amblypygi : Dinotomus
- It excludes the Amblypygi : Hepiopelmus
Thus our capture is not an Amblypygi, but an Oxypygi.
---
The additional criteria allowing to identify the capture are :
- The Antennae are dorsally black
- The Thorax is dorsally black, excepted : Pronotum, Tegulae & Scutellum
- Femora 2 : the internal side is black-reddish, the external side is yellowish
- Femora 3 : black
- Tibiae 1-2 : yellowish
- Tibiae 3 : yellow, apicaly ringed with black
We obtain, after a lot (...) of stages, the identification.
