Forum Entomologi Italiani

Can someone confirm?
Found at the beach, under wrack
4 mm

Dear Lenny,

you have to look at the specimen under the microscope, because the character from a photo you can not see.



The character resides in this area, punctuation, is large, ie, the distance between points, as is the size of a point then is the ater.

If instead it is more dense, with the distance between the points smaller than the dimensions of a ounto then is the umbrinus

Thank you so much, Augusto! With your help, i'm sure now it's Anthicus ater. Also A. umbrinus is not yet known from Germany.

Excellent from the picture you can see very well, it is Anthicus ater (Thunberg, 1787) Germania type locality
