View answered requests for beetle ID

On this page you can find photos submitted by users. If possible, the species are identified by the kerbtier.de ID team. Sometimes determination by photo only is impossible, in this case at least a hint on family and genus and potential species will be given. Requests to the kerbtier.de ID team can be submitted on the request page. The answered requests are published here shortly (currently 2 hours on average) after submitting.

Hallo Mr. Pampa, korrekt bestimmt als Rhynchaenus fagi. Inzwischen wird er in die Gattung Orchestes gestellt. In Laub- und Mischwäldern an Rotbuche. Sehr häufig. In Europa ohne die iberische Halbinsel. LG, Christoph PS: Bei dem Foto auf dem Maßband sollte man die Gedankenblase des Käfers sehen: "Scheiß Käferspinner!". ;-D LG, Christoph

Species, family:

Carabidae

Comment:

Hi Inja, Amara is correct. However, I am not able to identify the specimen to the species level. Some of the frequently encountered species can be excluded, as for instance A. aenea, similata/ovata (all of which have three yellow basal antenna segments). Also group of species with yellow legs (familiaris/lucida/anthobia) can be excluded. Cheers, Oliver

A member of Oulema. For a reliable species identification, the genital needs to be examined. Oliver O. melanopus and O. duftschmidi are the two candidates, just for the sake of clarity. Regards, Christoph

Hi Inja, Cantharidae is correct, Genus Cantharis. I do not know the polish fauna, but in Germany there are two nearly identically Species possible: Cantharis obscura and Cantharis paradoxa. They could be determined only by genital preparation. regards gernot

As for #3538 I would put this click beetle into genus Athous. Probably not the same species though as #3538, since the shape of the pronotum differs. Regards, Oliver I agree with Athous, but the rest only God nows. Regards, Christoph ;-)

Hi Inja, that's a representative of the Oedemera lurida complex, consisting of O. lurida, O.virescens, O. monticola and (not in Germany, but Poland) O. subrobusta. I don't dare to give a det to species level here. O. lurida is excluded though - thickened rear femora. Regards, Christoph

Comment:

Hey Inja, I think to make the next step in the Athous case, you might like to get some scientific determination literature for the Polish Athous fauna and try. I think this kind of mass determination of Athous won't lead us to where we really want to go - neither you nor us. Best regards, Christoph

Apionidae

Comment:

Hi Inja, this is a representative of genus Protapion. There are two species that are likely, P. fulvipes and P. nigritarse. I would think it's the first one, due to the club of the antenna, which is not clearly separated from the middle articles of the antenna (in terms of width). With some uncertainty. Regards, Christoph
