Hello, This Atylotus was caught on 11/06/2024 in a alluvial marsh in south Brittany (10km of the coast, connected by the river). - Thorax and abdomen silver-grey haired (latistriatus / rusticus). Some yellow coloration (due to light when shooting) less gloden yellow than in fulvus   - Eyes clearly haired (a good point for latistriatus); Vertex with balck hairs   - Hind femur less than half grey colored (not rusticus, coloration of hind femur of latistriatus variable).  Probably enough to confirm latistriatus ? Quite far from the coast (but place connected by the river), coloration of hairs on thorax and abdomen enough gray to latistriatus or fulvus is potential ?

Yes, latistriatus it is. Probably the estuarian river is quite saline Theo |
