Hello,

This Atylotus was caught on 11/06/2024 in a alluvial marsh in south Brittany (10km of the coast, connected by the river).

- Thorax and abdomen silver-grey haired (latistriatus / rusticus). Some yellow coloration (due to light when shooting) less gloden yellow than in fulvus

- Eyes clearly haired (a good point for latistriatus); Vertex with balck hairs

- Hind femur less than half grey colored (not rusticus, coloration of hind femur of latistriatus variable).

Probably enough to confirm latistriatus ?
Quite far from the coast (but place connected by the river), coloration of hairs on thorax and abdomen enough gray to latistriatus or fulvus is potential ?

Yes, latistriatus it is.
Probably the estuarian river is quite saline
