Being a male, the first antennal segement is actually very elongated. Moreover, crassicornis is a spring species. It seems the dusting on antennal segment 1 is complete. In which case it is either italica or grandis. Is this more or less wet area more or less salty ? Theo |

The humps seem to be clumps of wet hairs (talking about wet). Can we see a pic of the abdomen ? (so without wings covering it). Theo |

Surprise !! Definitely not italica. I'm lost and the specimen is not in good condition. So I'm afraid it ends here. Thanks for your help Theo |
