Sardinia, May 2009. Is this Dasyrhamphis ater or is anthracinus possible (subcallus is quite dusted, reading Chvala & Lyneborg )? Thanks, Steve sd attached the following image:  [85.4Kb] |

Whatever Dasyrhamphis it is, it is not ater. Need to check my collection Theo |

Thanks for looking, Theo. I have the specimen (though currently on setting board so hard to photo). I also have a few males from same location -500m alt, open oak woodland with mixed cereal type grasses and herbs. Steve |

I agree anthracinus is most likely, though the antennae are more elongated in the picture by Chvala et al. I have only the male in my collection. Theo |
