Hi,

Same area tha Atylotus, but not on coast.
A really nice active fen, but the sea is 12km by wing.

I see longs hairs on the eyes, as well as the Yellow occipital tuf, the only problem is the habitat (and that I have never seen the species)

Best,
Clovis

Hairs on eye too short. More like subcylindrica.

Hi,

Can we exclude bigoti with the shape of the first antennal segment ? (round in bigoti more long in subcylindrica, italica and pluvialis)
How can we exclude pluvialis ?
The first antennal segment is not really withish-grey and we have spot on (third) fourth tergite (second in subcylindrica. So could it be italica ?

Hi Benoit,

I was about to come back on this one. :)

Sternites 2 and 3 have some red-orange along the sides, a character that should exclud H subcylindrica I think?
Femurs 3 are all greys.
