Forum Entomologi Italiani

I m not sure about this one. It is something from tauricum group, maybe D. johannisfranci

Hello Zdeno,

Why not D.tauricum?

Georgi, I have collected tauricum in that part of Greece, I mean NE , but they are different....here is missing me the white stripe on side of each elytra - what is main character of D.P. tauricum....have to wait for Andrea`s confirmation....

Hi Zdeno,
the white stripe is not so much visible beacuse the exemplar is, maybe, old, but there is. Dorcadion genus is very difficult and I can't give you a certain determination, but it might be for me D.tauricum. Let's wait for Gianfranco's opinion that it might confirm it or not
