Hi all!

My tendency goes to T. sudeticus, although the eyes seem a bit greenish on the pics (-> T. bovinus?) On location green or brown depended on the sunlight's direction

Size: gigantic (approx. 2.5 cm)

16.7.2022, Germany, Upper Bavaria, near the summit of Mt. Hochfelln, ~1640m asl, coordinates 47.76121, 12.55959

Colouration of antenna is only distinctive feature. Sudeticus it is.

Many thanks Theo!

That's the first time I read that for sudeticus/bovinus - good to know for the future.

I guess it's similar with the male, where I took care to post at least one photo with visible antenna colour.
Best greetings
Rupert
