File talk:Polydrusus sp2.jpg

So often you can find wrong identificated beetles in the network

After Freude-Harde-Lohse on the level of subfamily !!! you can allready recognize, that this picture is no Phyllobius sp. but Polydrusus sp.. The teeth of the femurs occur in both species and the all habitus is also very similar, but Phyllobius belonging to Otiorhynchinae has a short furrow for the antennae (German Fühlergrube, I don't know the exact english term), that you can see completely from above. Polydrusus which belongs to Brachyderinae has a long furrow for the antennae, that lies at the side leeding downward. So this is a Polydrusus sp. --Siga 07:51, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
