Trichodes sp. but which one?? It doesn't quite match any i can find images for, and there are a lot out there. It's close to T apiarius interruptus (see http://www.biolib.cz/en/taxon/id1050979/ ) but all images of T. apiarius seem to have dark antennae and these are quite pale. Maybe a Turkish / Asian species little photographed… nick upton attached the following image:  [158.46Kb] Nick Upton - naturalist and photographer |

There are a lot of Trichodes species in South Europe, and several of them have yellow antennal clubs. T apiarius, however, should have a red elytral suture and black elytra tips (and dark antennal clubs of course). So your Trichodes is another species. I tried the key http://www.coleo-...tm#anKer14 for the European species that is in German and, unfortunately, rich in typos but did not come to a satisfying result. So you should better try to contact Frank Koehler, he is an excellent coleopterologist. Regards, Sundew |

Many thanks for the feedback. An even trickier genus than I realised!
