| | Miridae: 'Dicyphus pallidus' pointers needed Morning all,
Happy New Year!
What is it that characterises Dicyphus pallidus? I've put the latter into the NBN which redirects to epilobii - so is pallidus a synonym of epilobii, or is the one in question a distinct, non-British species? Curious...
Thanks!
Take care, Jason

I've replied to your email and also sent you a draft key you might find useful. D. pallidus is a distinct species and is a recent arrival in Britain - but not seen it yet myself so can't tell you a great deal.
Look out also for D. escalerae on antirrhinums, another recent colonist which is not in Southwood & Leston
Best wishes

Thanks for the email. Yes, the chaeotaxy/pubesence is as you say, so seems my ID's correct - great stuff!!
Take care, Jason |  | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
