Hello everybody, I have a question regarding Suillia pallida. When I received a copy of P. Withers key of Suillia I noticed his description of S. pallida, see page 95 of Proc. Trans. Br. Ent. Nat. Hist. Soc. 20, 1987. He says the arista is long plumose. I tried to contact Mr. Withers, but in vain, unfortunately. The point is that in the key, which I use most often, namely Papp`s key in the Fauna Hungariae, it is given that the arista is hairy, which, I think, is correct. Gorodkov mentions the arista to be pubescent or almost bare. Collin is his key as well. Same story of Czerny (lang pubeszent). Is Mr. Wither remark concerning the arista just a slip of the pen? Thanks, ruud van der weele rvanderweele@gmail.com |

Oops, more about S. pallida . The plumosity is very short (lang pubescent). In Withers paper the aedeagi are not figured, when Withers wrote aedeagus he thought eadeagal apodeme .Andrzej |
