Hi, I keyed this specimen to Estheria microcera, but I'm not sure. I read that this species has 3+4 DC, but I only count 3+3 DC. location: Bragança (Portugal) date: 04/08/2019 Rui Andrade attached the following image: [160.73Kb] |

I need to check the literature, but why not cristata ? Theo |

Indeed it was in the step that separates E. cristata from the other species that my doubts arouse. According to the key E. cristata has 4 bristles on the postpronotum, with the three strongest arranged in a more or less straight line. In my specimen I count 5 bristles, and I'm not sure if I should consider that the strongest are in a straight line or not, it seems somewhat intermediate. But because of the 5 bristles on the postpronotum I continued in the key and reached E. microcera. |

I see your point. It is, indeed, not cristata. From what I can see, I agree with microcera. Theo |
