Can anyone give me some information about Beris fuscipes. I caught a male of the genus Beris in Turnhout, Belgium on 14/05/2012, but I wasn't able to key it out. I know it must be B. fuscipes or strobli or hauseri, but the only characteristic my key gives for the males of B. fuscipes is the thickened antenna. The anntennae of my specimen are somewhat thickened, but I don't know if it's enough. Are there any other characteristics to ditstinguish B. fuscipes from B. strobli/hauseri? Or does someone have figures of the genitalia or something like that? It would be a nice help. (and maybe a new species for Belgium!) |

I made a photo of the antennae. Are they thick enough for Beris fuscipes? Jef Hendrix attached the following image:  [166.54Kb] |

I cannot help out as there should be other characters to consider other than the antennae and I do not know hauseri (honestly, I did not even know it existed...).

Hello Paul Beris hauseri is recently distinguished from B. strobli. But it is already confirmed that this is a B. fuscipes. Jef |

The picture is not too clear, but your other pictures on waarnemingen.be show the thorax to be dark haired, clearly contradicting fuscipes. So, for me, it is hauseri, unless you prvide a more clear picture of the antenna. Theo |
