Would certainly be nice to see specimens of all/any  I have never seen ferina because it doesn't fly here but it should be easy in the keys  |

Jaakko, the same is true for England. Cosmln, the difference is easy, but I couldn't see it on the pic DC 3 + 3 -> carinifrons DC 3 + 4 -> ferina Theo |

Dorsocentral. The bristles on scutum. SEE the Overviews, cosmin Imagining a central line on scutum, we have FIRST a row of acrostichals (AT left, and at right in relation to that imaginary median line), then we have dorsocentral bristles. Better to see overviews. It has everything on thorax thread for reference: Acrostichal(s) seta(e) = ac seta(e). Or Ac seta(e). Dorsocentral(s) seta(e) = dc seta(e). Or Dc seta(e). Intra-alar(s) seta(e) = ia seta(e) not intralar or Intra alar. Postsutural dorsocentral(s) seta(e) = post sut dc seta(e) Presutural dorsocentral(s) seta(e) = pre sut dc seta(e) Scutellum = sctl Scutum = sct Transverse suture = ts (on scutum)

Sorry for dropping the DC, Jorge saved my ass, thanks. And so it is D. ferina at last, a smaller male (DC 3 + 4), as well shown in this picture. Theo |
