Anisoplia (Anisoplia) deserticola Fischer von Waldheim, 1824

Hi,

Promise that is the last topic for today .
This a plate I have prepared for the rutelid, Anisoplia (Anisoplia) deserticola Fischer von Waldheim, 1824, a very rare species in Romania.
Romania, undisclosed locality, 12.june.2013, leg. & det. C.Manci
This is the start of study that I have started to try to make the identification of group easier. For now all group is more or less a mess, genitalia and appearence (and several species very variable in color) in general very alike and I want to start a comparative study of endophalus and hope after this to ease the identification of this group.



This topic is also an appeal for help.
Interested in specimens of Anisoplia and related genera, fresh specimens (kept soft in freezer or other medium) and killed with ethyl acetate (or similar) ... not interested in alcohol killed specimens. Only for exchange, sorry me out of money ... Romania is not a good country for entomology (when about living/working... here).

All my best,
Cosmin
