Hi All,
just wondering if my tentative ID as "
Calliopum sp." (by looking at pictures, as I don't own a key for these) is accurate and/or if maybe even a species name would be possible?
Netherlands, Drenthe, Ruinerwold, 2020-10-18
cf.
observation at waarneming.nl
Many thanks in advance!
Cheers,
Arp

Yes
Calliopum
I cant be sure but looks a l bit like
aeneum

Thanks Mark, I take it the images are insufficient to really decide on
C. aeneum or
simillimum. I just now stumbled on
this thread and if the images by Andreas are not sufficient mine certainly aren't either...
Is the jizz enough for
cf. aeneum or should I stick with
sp.?

The genitalia need to be visible,
The jizz for
aeneum is a subtle greenish sheen, but it is very subtle and not always there.

Okay, thanks for clearing that up Mark!
