Are you asking the meaning of the sentence with the question mark? Propleuron more or less setulose. |

The other big question is if Seguy 1934 keys are still useful for european Tetanocera. The other keys I found are not free download. And the last question is if genitalia is needed to get a species name. Edited by rafael_carbonell on 23-10-2022 18:04 |

Or perhaps Tetanocera silvatica as suggested here? https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/137553346

If you read french, I suggest you use Vala 1989, really good book  And it cover your area.For frons, better angle would be from front and a bit upward. Frons doesn't look shiny to Me, I'd bet on T ferruginea. You can exclude T hyallipennis anyway, costa is a bit darkned in this species. |

Thanks, clovis! I bought Vala 1989, but difficult to use with not other references or pinned specimens. I take note on your suggestion. |
