Hello, among these ones recorded here until 2002:
Nemotelus nigrinus
Nemotelus argentifer
Nemotelus atriceps = longicornis
Nemotelus cingulatus = lateralis = aemulus = pulcher
Nemotelus cylindricornis
Nemotelus danielssoni
Nemotelus insularis
Nemotelus latiusculus = cothurnatus
Nemotelus longirostris = gadensis = fuscinervis = pilosus
Nemotelus maculiventris = andalusiacus
Nemotelus notatus = balearicus = zernyi
Nemotelus pantherinus = nigritus
Nemotelus pullus
Nemotelus signatus
Nemotelus subuliginosus

I can´t find keys nor descripton for N. cylindricornis, N. danielssoni and N. subuliginosus; I´ve got Lindner´s Keys, is there any better book now or is it a question of looking for articles for single species?
Thanks in advance

Oh, and curious pic; it seems asymmetrical, beatiful photo :)

Paqui:

I would like to bring your attention to Rozkošný's studies of European Stratiomyidae (cf. below). In Volume 2 you will find the information regarding Nemotelus. For N. danielssoni you will need the original description (Mason 1989).

so long,
xylo
