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.
