So the Genus is Tropistes
Det. of Species :
[see http://www.forum.hymis.de/download/file ... &mode=view]
The Genus contains 5 European species : burakowskii, scoticus, falcatus, nitidipennis & hebraicator.
** The 2 first species differ from others by their length ≤ 4 mm and the shape of their third antennal segments.
** I consider that hebraicator is not a “good species”, because :
- The description of Aubert is insufficient & the distinction of coloring with nitidipennis is vague.
Even the Ovipositors does not allow to distinguish distinctly hebraicator & nitidipennis
- (cf. Capture of Bilule, see http://www.forum.hymis.de/viewtopic.php ... tes#p34005 )
- - nitidipennis with Coxae black
- falcatus with Coxae red
(Remark : The color of Tegulae does not separate these 2 sp.)
==========
falcatus was captured in Italy
