A fantastic Nemestrinus. I wonder if it could be a Nemestrinus caucasicus (Fischer 1806) but I do not have any description of this species. |

Now I have the paper written by Narchuk I can discard completely the N. caucasicus as the features mentioned don«t belong to the specimen shown here: "Abdomen black, with transverse bands of white appressed hairs on tergites II–IV. Apex of abdomen in male and female with dense light brown pubescence ". It is probable that this one can be a N. cf. laetus as the wing has additional transverse abscissa, and fits: "Abdomen red-brown with longitudinal black strip in middle. Wings infuscate in median part". This is very well observed in the first photo. However I would like to confirm some other species that appear in faunaeur and not in the article. Nevertheless the description in Narchuk's article really fits for N. laetus. (very unlikely to be N. ariasi only known for Spain and N. graecus for Greece,) Edited by jorgemotalmeida on 15-07-2011 20:59 |

yep. The infuscation is precisely in the median part! Now it is very probable that this will turn out to be a N. laetus laetus (the other would be N. laetus obscuripennis - with dark bands which is not the case). Fits very well the Narchuk's description. But to be careful put provisionaly as N. cf. laetus laetus. (bands in the wing are indistinct and brownish.) Edited by jorgemotalmeida on 15-07-2011 21:16 |
