2) In Matile 1986 work about Keroplatus

Ratio Protarse I/Tibia I: about 1.5 à le néotype K. reaumurii reaumurii
Ratio Protarse I/Tibia I: about 1.65 à le lectotype K. testaceus

Keroplatus reumurii reaumurii (own specimen)
Protarse I/Tibia I=1.65 (=68/40 under binocular)
(other genitalia checked male reaumurii: 1.43, 1.50, 1.76)

Keroplatus testaceus: (image: http://sciaroidea...s-Mph.jpg)
Protarse I/Tibia I=1.62 (143/88 measured on monitor screen with a ruler)

This criteria don't seems to work:@
