Forum Entomologi Italiani

Appena portata a casa la microslitta manfrotto non ho resistito, ed ho fatto precipitosamente un primo tentativo. Gli errori li vedo anch'io: esemplare ancora sporco, illuminazione inadeguata, nessun intervento post scatto. Prendetelo come un punto di partenza da cui si può solo migliorare
La bella bestia è comunque Cycnotrachelus (Cycnotrachelodes) limbatus (Faust, 1889), (Curculionoidea Attelabidae) maschio, 12 mm

Very nice Silvano .

Two requests only:

For me is gen. Cycnotrachelus known only from Asia , i think this sp. was in gen Trachelophorus or Trachelophoridius (or after A.Legalov Vossitrachelophorus ). This is some new in taxonomy?

I have got some ex., which I determined also as. T.limbatus, but colour of elytra and pronotum is yelloworange (on elytra also black). Pleas, how is different between T. limbatus (Faust) and T. rubrodorsatus (Fairmaire). Thank you.

Hi Petr. A lot of news in taxonomy, but only in my work not published yet. I hope to finish it soon.
rubrodorsatus is quite different from limbatus: I will post a photo as soon as possible.
