Hi, jorge. It is desirable to know its body length. I try to suppose it is some close to weevils beetle of the family Rhinomaceridae or Anthribidae. Best regards, Sergey |

This is Mycterus curculioides, family Mycteridae (former part of Phytidae). We don?t have photos of this species - stop - we don?t have photos of this family in our beetle gallery. It is impossible to support us with this or similar photos? Best regards Frank

Best regards, Sergey I forgot, but perhaps, somewhere about 7 cm? I don?t recall well the real size. Edited by jorgemotalmeida on 15-05-2007 00:09 |

7 cm? Yo want mean 7 mm. Is true Mycterus, but the only exemplar of M. curculioides that I have seen was enterely black! Can be another species in same genus? |

Thank you very much Jorge! Best regards Frank @Isidro: No, there are only two species in southwest europe, one with a long, and one with a short rostrum. What you have seen, could be a "senior specimen" ;-) |
