Best regards

It can also be O.basalis Here is what you need to know to separate these two close species: http://dogalhayat.org/property/miridae-110/ (You can find the drawnings in FdF 67) I didn't check the key,maybe they can be distingueshed by the outer features but examination of male genitalia is necessery to be sure which can't be done on your specimen because it is a female. I will check the key this morning.(Maybe you do the same before me) |

That's right. In the key O. basalis and O. kalmi are neighbours  Features are based on metric data again (proportions of eye and vertex), but, in the case of O. kalmi, there is additional features describes a scutellum: it contains usual black triangular spot And, in a general view, the shape of body in O. kalmi is only oval, in O. basalis is elongated oval. Below a photo showing shape of body (after Wagner's key): And original part of this key: Cita: 6 (7) Vertex a peu pres aussi large chez le male, 1,4 fois plus large chez la female que l'oeil (fig. 131, b). Forme allongée. 3. basalis 7 (6) Vertex environ 1,3 fois chez le male, 1,5 fois chez la female plus large que l'oeil (fig. 131, a). Écusson en général avec une tache basale triangulaire noire (fig. 132, c). Forme ovale, allongée. 4. kalmi BTW: I cannot translate a little part of this key: "Apophyse du style droit (fig. 133, a)". Below the photo 133: I thought about some kind of tubercle, but my knowledge about male genitalia structure is still small

GrzegorzG ha scritto: Below a photo showing shape of body (after Wagner's key): Please don't forget to mention Weber with Wagner.Without doubt Weber had helped Wagner a lot to prepare this publication. If you checked the link I gave, you can see that my O.basalis specimen has also a black triangular area on the pronotum.Though in your specimen the shape of the body reminds O.kalmii it can also be O.basalis.You should find a male to examine and after that we can be sure if it is O.kalmii or not. |

I will remember your hint about Weber and Wagner's key. I saw your O. basalis and therefore I signed my specimen as O. kalmii/basalis Best regards Grzegorz |
