A "looks like" again (see Hypera zoilus): Lixus ochraceus from Reseda. If you send photos for our beetle gallery, I can submit them to various experts. Best regards Frank

I don't know how can I send photos to the beetle gallery. Fortunately, I have the preliminar list of all Iberian Curculionoidea. Nearest Reseda are many kilometres along... it can't be ochraceus, I think. Related secies present in my country (subgenus Compsolixus): Lixus albomarginatus Lixus anguinus (this is not, because the elytra end are rounded) Lixus castellanus Lixus cruciferae Lixus junci Lixus laufferi Thanks ;-) |

Nice to see the lists of the spanish weevils, but unfortunately it?s terra incognita for me. To submit a pic and find my contact data, klick on the link above ;-) It?s a little bit difficult to find spanish experts for all beetle families, but for Curculionidae there are some colleagues. This case: Subgenus Compsolixus is ok. If these are all spanish species, it can be only ochraceus or albomarginatus - living both on Reseda. Lixus doesn?t look like good fliers, but they are very mobile ;-) Comparing your photo with my collection and books, it should be albomarginatus.

Thanks again Frank! I will put it as L. albomarginatus. This exemplar fly well, you can see the wings at the end of the body. |
