Hello mammut,

There are several other species of Cacoxenus in Europe. No known from Italy, but that doesn't tell a lot. I can however count about twelve visible acrostical rows on the scutum in your photo's. That confirms it as Cacoxenus indagator Loew, 1858. The other four European species have ten rows at maximum.

Kind regards,

Ectemnius
