Hello,
I tried to identify this
Suillia. I created a (incomplete)
table of the Suillia of France with the information I could find on the forum and in the keys.
For this one, I'm considering 5 species:
affinis, flagripes, gigantea, setitarsis, and
umbratica.
I can't find many criteria, apart from :
The color of the supracervical setae to separate
umbratica from
affinis. But I can't see the color of these setae...
The size to separate
affinis from
gigantea (but depending on the source,
gigantea can measure either 9-13 mm or 7.2 to 12 mm...)
I haven't found much for
flagripes and
setitarsis.
Is there a way to differentiate all these species? I think there's also a criterion based on the number of whiskers, but I can't find any information on that?
I have some other images if needed.
