Hi All, just wondering if my tentative ID as "Calliopum sp." (by looking at pictures, as I don't own a key for these) is accurate and/or if maybe even a species name would be possible? Netherlands, Drenthe, Ruinerwold, 2020-10-18 cf. observation at waarneming.nl Many thanks in advance! Cheers, Arp Arp attached the following image:  [246.5Kb] Edited by Arp on 18-10-2020 16:19 |

Thanks Mark, I take it the images are insufficient to really decide on C. aeneum or simillimum. I just now stumbled on this thread and if the images by Andreas are not sufficient mine certainly aren't either... Is the jizz enough for cf. aeneum or should I stick with sp.? |

The genitalia need to be visible, The jizz for aeneum is a subtle greenish sheen, but it is very subtle and not always there. |
