Hi,

Is it a male of Neoitamus ?

Given the coloration of the wings, I would say Pamponerus germanicus.

Thanks, unfortunately no other pictures for this one. Does this zoom help to confirm Pamponerus germanicus ?

To me it seems not hairy enough for Pamponerus and too thin, although not clearly visible, the beard seems to thin too. Last segments of abdomen are black, so it could also be one of the other species of Neoitamus. Picture taken in july that is pretty late for Pamponerus.

Please note that i am not sure! Just compared pictures with pamponerus and noticed that their abdomens can be very dark, to black too. Still, i think this to be a Neoitamus sp. But that is more a feeling, based on small things like meta-tarsi, shape of genital segments, over all shape. Mark is referring to the base of the wing, a Pamponerus should have a milky white base in contrast with rest of wing. In this picture i think it is the lightfall.

Sorry, but I didn't collect it.
I've also read in your book and in the Stubbs that tarsi are greatly orange in Pampoherus. It seems to be greatly black on mine, so perhaps again a feature for Neoitamus ?
I forgot to tell that I've seen it in a rocky area (no sand there) near Aywaille (Province de Liège)
