Returning to this business after a while: Yesterday in Turku I caught my first male from this pair H. atricornis/rotundicornis. Only the latter has been previously recorded from Finland and it too is here rare.

The vibrissae of this specimen are well above the lower line of the eye and frons somewhat tapering towards antennae - does this mean that atricornis is ruled out?

So, any further wisdom in separating these two species is greatly appreciated...
