Hope I won't bore you with my Cylindromyas. Just too cute not to pay them attention  This one was found in the mountains of Madrid, in August 2011, on Eryngium campestre. Combining all views I can see the three marginal bristles on the scutellum: apical, sub-apical and basal. Going through the keys I think this belong to the very complex group of brassicaria, pilipes, xylotina, brevicornis. I think it is brassicaria but I cannot be even half sure. Help, please! I can provide more detail, if necessary

Well, it is clearly NOT brevicornis and I can't see why it would not be brassicaria. But it is not 100 % sure, since several rare species are extremely similar Theo |
