Thorax schwarz, etwas glänzend, mit spärlicher dunkelgrauer Bereifung Hallo, can anyone help translate the word Bereifung, I get tyre which of course doesn't fit Thx
oceanlis2000 20 November 2017 15:09:20
Pls sign to help save Botanophila fonsecai https://home.38degrees.org.uk/?s=Fonseca . Thx
oceanlis2000 17 November 2017 14:22:06
Thanks Paul, interesting point
Paul Beuk 16 November 2017 13:44:43
'Holding' might not be the perfect description. Apparently the armature makes contact with sensitive places on the female, coaxing her to agree to mate.
Paul Beuk 16 November 2017 13:43:05
Is was not quite sure whether the word would apply correctly, but, yes, that is okay.
oceanlis2000 15 November 2017 11:29:07
How about armature, would that fit? based on http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.11 11/j.1365-3113.2008.00422.x/pdf it would seem that these spines etc are used to hold the female!
Paul Beuk 14 November 2017 09:22:33
All spines, ridges, lobes, etc. on the femur.
crex 14 November 2017 08:36:56
I think bewaffnung is like weapons (on femur 1).
oceanlis2000 13 November 2017 13:10:22

oceanlis2000 26 October 2017 12:37:37

Liohippelates pallipes?
oceanlis2000 25 October 2017 12:16:34
Can any1 help out with a current name for Hippeletes pallipes, apparently family Oscinidae Thank you
Paul Beuk 20 October 2017 13:37:12
It was an inode issues. In practise, I think it means there were more files on the server than the system catered for. The limit has been doubled and we should be save for quite some time.
crex 20 October 2017 09:41:34
I'm relieved you managed to fix the site, Paul! You had us a bit worried there Wink

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
