Hi Maik,

thanks,
yes we can see the apical margin, I would say Elampus konowi (in Paukkunen et al. 2015 as Elampus foveatus)

... metanotal lamella is large and similar in both species. Even larger in Elampus foveatus , as in your case. Therefore without examination of the specimen I cannot be sure ...

... your beautiful pictures! At first sight your specimens looks like an Elampus panzeri (Fabricius), however I cannot see some diagnostic features, ... which are not clearly visible from your pictures anal plate panzeri-foveatus.jpg Let me know All the Best Paolo

Even though the picture is a bit blurry the shape of the apical plate is too wide to be E. constrictus from what I understand, so its likely E. foveatus . The punctation I was talking about is always covered by the wings by living specimens I'm afraid, its the middle line that is unpunctated in ...

Nice pictures, would say that is a female E. foveatus, but as the punctation on T2 isnt visible (something that is almost impossible to photograph on living animals) its more of a guess.

Lo metto tra le bestiole da farti controllare

A presto e grazie.
