I found this specimen in a compost.I saw that it could correspond to a Sphaeroceridae, whose family has a few aptera. Size less than 2mm. Would this inspire anyone? Location: ORIN, France South West jokari attached the following image:  [139.01Kb] Edited by jokari on 08-03-2021 18:24 |

I confirm the determination, although it is not necessary, as Tonyś determinations use to be precise. More importantly: Which is the locality? Fauna Europaea records Puliciphora (2 spp) only from Spain, France and Great Britain. |

It is necessary to know if the hairs between posterior ocelli and outer bristles on vertex have trifid tips (rufipes) or not (borinquenensis). Difficult to discern in the photo... The former was already recorded from France.

Location: ORIN, France South West Thanks to all of you. Unfortunately I don't have a more detailed picture to go further, but I note the details to look at given by Paul for another time. Thanks again Edited by jokari on 08-03-2021 18:34 |
