Italy - Sicily (October 2024).

With the key for Central Europe, it keys out nicely to Linnaemya vulpina. Is that also correct for Sicily or are there similar species?

Thanks in advance.

Vulpina is one of a kind. That said, the femora seem a bit dark. I'd like to see a strict lateral view of the head. For Italy, of course better to use Cerretti's work.

Thanks for the response Theo. I found the work of Cerretti on the internet (now I have to practise my Italian).

It seems to go between L. vulpina, L. sorror and L. comta. I understand why you asked for a strict lateral view, but I find it a bit difficult to judge.

* The parafacials look bald to me, which directs me to L. vulpina again.
* The femora are normal orange-red although on the pictures they seem a bit dark.

Looking forward to your opinion.

No ! There are "clearly" some hairs on parafacial ! These are both white and very short, hence difficult to see. So my suspicion was correct, it is not vulpina and likely soror.

Sorry, I can't see the hairs, not even under the microscope, but I'll go with your expert opinion.

I can no longer send private messages (and maybe not receive?), even though my inbox and outbox are not yet full. I write, click "send" and they disappear and never show up in the outbox.
