Hello everybody,
only rarely I take doli's home. As far as I can remember I do not remember to have seen this species before. I think it is a Rhaphium. In the field, with the naked eye I saw the strongly metallic purple-blue forehead and whitish face. Of course the antennae are remarkable though not as R. longicorne.
Any suggestion?

But R. longicorne has much longer antennae, hasn't it?

besides, I forgot to remark, Stefan, the first segment of the antenna is thinner than the 2nd.

Thanks, Stefan, I didn't check the photo in the gallery before, because I checked the literature, which mentions the antennae etc.
Besides I have seen some other picturesof D. longicorne, which shows even longer antennae.
I have to say that I am absolutely no doli expert. Rather the opposite; I take rarely dolis home for identification.
