![]() i'm stuck with this Hoplia, and don't succeed to reach an end. followed the key from Baraud, 1992 (in bracket the number from the key): 9 antennal article > (6) claw of posterior leg without a split > (7) median tooth of protibia going to the front > (14) the small claw from anterior (and median) tarses without a split > (15) pigidium and sternitae with more or less round scales > (16) and here I'm ending with two species:
I have done something wrong? is possible to help me? is there some new paper dealing with additional species of Hoplia? this is the only male found, collected in north-east of Greece (41.315708/26.064153) in 19.may.2010, leg. Cosmin Manci. |

Good photo! Their claws look like the ones of Bradypus ![]() An example of convergent evolution between very far species. ![]() |

The habitus match that of H. argentea, including furrow along the posterior claws... are you sure that there is no split on the small claws of median legs? |

Glaphyrus ha scritto: The habitus match that of H. argentea, including furrow along the posterior claws... are you sure that there is no split on the small claws of median legs? and off-course that you are right Marco. the split is almost invisible comparing with romanian specimens of H.argentea... will post a pair in few minutes. grazie Later Edit: Hoplia is in Rutelidae (like in Fauna EU) or Melolonthidae (like in Baraud)??? |
