Hi, I collected in a salt marsh area (Tipulomorpha typical for this habitat) this female Atylotus. I'd like to make it a A rusticus, but I am bothered with hairs on abdomen, wich are distinctly yellow (with black hairs on bands). Can we confirm? And can we exclude A fulvus wich appear to be the alternative? The picture of abdomen doesn't give much this golden hair impression unfortunatly. best, Clovis  Anonyme : France : Saint-Germain-sur-Ay : 50430 : 18/07/2025 Altitude : 0 m - Taille : 17 mm Réf. : 362115  Anonyme : France : Saint-Germain-sur-Ay : 50430 : 18/07/2025 Altitude : 0 m - Taille : 17 mm Réf. : 362118 .JPG) Anonyme : France : Saint-Germain-sur-Ay : 50430 : 18/07/2025 Altitude : 0 m - Taille : 17 mm Réf. : 362116 Edited by clovis on 22-07-2025 17:07 |

Hi Clovis, the very small calli of this female would point to A. fulvus.
Greetings, Eric |

The abdominal pattern strongly suggests latistriatus, as does the habitat. Yellow notopleural lobes are very unusual in fulvus (more loewianus) and finally, if you take a close look to the second pic, you'd notice the eye is hairy. Hence: latistriatus, one of those terrible specimens with yellow leges. (sh)it happens. Theo |

Hi you two, many thanks for your help! A latistriatus was also one I wanted to rule out, but really short hairs on the eyes get me wrong. Atylotus always get me mad! best, |
