female - 9.2mm - Berlin - early May 2018 I think that this is Lasiopogon cinctus female. Only L. cinctus is listed for Germany but i have no keys or drawings for this genus. Am i correct about the genus and species? is it possible for any other Lasiopogon? Thank you for your time. johnes81 attached the following image: ![]() [76.69Kb] Edited by johnes81 on 19-06-2018 14:15 John and Nini. Naturalists not experts. |

Lasiopogon is a nightmarish genus but very easy in your area ![]() ![]() Edited by Piluca_Alvarez on 19-06-2018 11:36 |

Hello and Thank you, Piluca ![]() the saying, "two heads are better than one" applies here. You also see L. cinctus, so L. cinctus it is. I found her at sandy heathland, which also fits the description for L. cinctus. I didn't see a male around. Hopefully, i can find a male. I was curious about other Lasiopogon species because faunaeruropaea mentions Lasiopogon immaculatus as a doubtfully present species. Last year i found a first record for Germany, so i am always careful now. Thank you for your time and expertise. I appreciate you very much. I hope that you have a splendid day ![]() Edited by johnes81 on 19-06-2018 14:14 John and Nini. Naturalists not experts. |

i wonder about those large black appendages. are these thick bristles? do they have a scientific name? I see 8 on each side.

They are called acanthophorite spines and are usually used for digging a hole in the soil.
