Hi,

as I try to id this Clusiodes-specimen I should choose between two or three fronto-orbitals. (by Londsdale & Marshall) This specimen has three on one side an four on the other. The totally black third segment of the antenna is something that I have not seen before as well. Is it just C. albimanus or something else ? The specimen is from Helsinki, Finland.

I'd say a very dark albimanus, yes, but perhaps further examination of the genitalia might tell you if that is correct or not. Lonsdale & Marshall reviewed all Old World species.
