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 ?
Benoît
