I've seen this Gymnosoma female in Belgium (5-8-2009). Parafrontalia not on their total length shiny black, so not nudifrons. Scutellum only at the tip with a spot of dusting. Could it be a female of Gymnosoma rotundatum ? Christine Devillers attached the following image:  [190.6Kb] Edited by Christine Devillers on 15-01-2010 12:44 |

female rotundatum. The dusting onthorax and scutellum is restricted and the last picture nicely shows it is not nudifrons: the black on the parafrontalia is restricted as well. Theo |

Thanks a lot Theo  . Gymnosoma rotundatum don't seem to be common in Belgium. I think it's the first time I see it in my region (Province de Liège). Edited by Christine Devillers on 15-01-2010 16:22 |
