Wood pasture, 650m altitude, Nuoro, Sardinia on Giant Fennel, Ferula communis 25th May 2010, size 15mm Eyes in life- unbanded Several individuals taken at different locations on the island Strongly hooked antennae and dusted subcallus suggests Dasyrhamphis anthracinus. Fauna Europaea and Chvala (1972) list both D. anthracinus and D. ater for Sardinia but I wonder if some D. ater specimens are really dark/greasy D. anthracinus ? The dusting on the frons is very fine (in the series I have) and is best viewed from above. Viewed from in front or the side or if the specimen is a little greasy, the subcallus can falsely appear polished. This is also true for the male, see seperate thread. sd attached the following image:  [100.93Kb] |
