Location: Midwest Sweden (Dalsland) Date: 2008-JUL-24 I assume this is Sicus ferrugineus. What gender? There is another species mentioned in the Sicus genus - Sicus abdominalis - that I haven't seen pictures of. Is that similar? crex attached the following image: ![]() [165.68Kb] Edited by crex on 07-09-2008 21:58 |

Here is another photo from the same spot a couple of days earlier. I assume this is the same species. In the Sicus key is mentioned theca. What is that? It separates Sicus ferrugineus from the two other species.

![header=[theca] body=[Enlargement of sternite 5/6 in females of many Conopidae, sternite 5 is then produced ventrally as a pad-like structure anteriorly and with a variously developed plate-like portion posteriorly; sternite 6 often similarly developed but with pad-like anterior portion usually smaller and with pate-like posterior portion usually larger than those in segment 5.<br />
