Using the RES's handbook, this one keys out as Lispocephala pallipalpis. However, the following character in couplet 11/14 wasn't too obvious in my specimen: "Hind tibia with a number of setulae on apical half of anterior face which are longer, stronger and more erect than those on posterior face." I can see from previous posts on the forum that other records of pallipalpis with unmodified t3 have been made. However, the fifth segment of all tarsi are all dark, which should exclude alma and falcuata. As pallipalpis have few records from Norway, a second opinion nevertheless would be much appreciated.

From the British Key Tarsomere 5 leg 1 dorsal side - basal 1/3rd not white so not alma, (2) basal 1/3rd not concolorous with previous tarsomeres x falculata therefore pallipalpis tarsomere 5 leg 1 looks dusted so you will need to check to be sure I can't tell from the photo of tibia 3 Check that tibia 3 with setulae on apical ½ of anterior side longer and stronger than those on the posterior side If this is the case can you pop a photo on showing the difference for future reference? = pallipalpis Dr Elisabeth A.

Ok, the difference seems more obvious now from the different sides of tibia 3. Tarsomeres also seem ok, so pallipalpis it should be then. Thank you so much for your help and confirmation! Best regards Kjetil Edited by Kjetil on 02-04-2017 09:47 |
