Sorry but I disagree, this is not C. octomaculatum : the 3rd antennal segment is well too long and the rim of tergites 3 & 4 is not yellow at level of black front bands. Should be like in the last pictures of this page : http://cyrille.du...illus.html Stephane. |

Thank you for all the info. OK, no C. octomaculatum. So maybe C. cautum or fasciolatum? This may stay uncertain with these pictures, I guess. Regards, Koenraad |

Should be like in the last pictures of this page : http://cyrille.du...illus.html I enlarged the photo and I'm totally agree. 3rd antennomere is pretty long. I didn't check the photo for first steps in ID, assuming kobra did already, sorry. |

Regards, Koenraad Wing colours are fascicolatum-type, and enlarging the head it appears (please, would you like to check and confirm?) that 3rd antennomere is longer than 1+2. So cautum can be ruled out. I'd say C. cf. fascicolatum |

Hi again, I have now cropped a picture of the head - I am not sure that it is clear now, since I am not a specialist, so maybe someone can confirm now?  Regards, Koenraad |
