Hello,
I have caught this Atylotus male in Hungary, and I can’t really distinguish fulvus and loewianus. Could you help me please? What is the best to determine males?
Eyes with really long yellow hairs.
I read a lot of features but none of them seems really reliable and clear for me.

Hi,
I made a quick shot of the key characters in the great book by Theo and André (https://www.velds...villi.html). If there are really long hairs on the eyes, it should be A. loewianus.
