Hello,
this photo is from last april from a coastland in southeast Sicily. Some weeks ago I had another photo from this place, which was identified as Nemotelus nigrifrons. Is this too N. nigrifrons?
Thanks,
Michael

Sorry, this view is not really sufficient to reliably separate
nigrifrons from
pantherinus. For example, male
pantherinus has white markings above the antennae, male
nigrifrons patches of silvery white hairs. From this picture I cannot tell for certain whether this specimens has spots or patches of silvery white hairs (though I am inclined towards the latter).

Thank you for your answer Paul. Given that on the photos from three days earlier the white hairs are visible I will labe the pictures cf. nigrifrons.
