I have found several times this kind of arthropod unde rthe bark of plane trees (Platanus sp.) in northern Spain.

I have no idea which it may be. I have thought of some kind of Myriapod - some kind of Polyxenida or something akin - but I have discarded it. So I am a bit puzzled.

Any help to identify it?

Thank you veru much in advance.

Hi, these are larvae of beetles: Dermestidae. Probably Anthrenus museorum.
Greetings, Eric Kloeckner

I agree with Dermestidae, but the situation and size of the setal tufts suggest that this is Ctesias serra rather than Anthrenus.

Thank you very much for the identification! I was completely lost.

I will be attentive to the adults, since I have never seen them.

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
