Hello! This looks to have a thumb-like projection on the antennae. If it is Syntormon it seems to key to S. fuscipes. Taken on 6th July in a shady spot in my garden near Lincoln UK.

it is not Syntormon, it looks like Hercostomus.

Thank you Igor, I have followed the key for Hercostomus and it leads me to H. nobilitatus, which seems to be the same as Poecilobothrus nobilitatus? I do have plenty of those, but I have never seen one so dark. I got photos of a male two days later which looks to be the same species as this female, it isn't P. nobilitatus. I'll post those here as it may help. http://cubits.org... |
