Hello, can anyone identify this one? Don't find much on Miridae, except photogalleries. Comparing with photos this could be Polymerus palustris (or maybe P. tepastus or P. microphthalmus)... Is there any keys for this genus or Miridae available online? Size for this one is between 6 and 6,5 mm (from photo estimate!). Photographed 11.07.2011 in a coastal location in Bodø, northern Norway.

Thank you, but I have already seen through these sites, they don't have all the Polymerus sp. that could be found in Norway. Maybe P. tepastus is more likely than palustris or microphthalmus? |

mhh, in Norway itīs after FE only three species possibly and P. nigrita itīs not. After this interesting assertion on Flickr.com itīs your example more like Polymerus tepastus - the blackish coloration of corium flows directly at the clavus. Frank |

Thank you, then it's more likely P. tepastus, but it's not possible to ID from photos (sides of abdomen not visible in my photos). Many Polymerus species are known from Sweden and Finland that's not been found yet in Norway, these may also be possible! (P. palustris and P. microphthalmus look identical to P. tepastus from photos I've found on the net). Guess it will be Polymerus sp. |
