Hypoglyptus sp.

A member of this very rarely collected genus was found while sifting plant litter under cushion plants on limestone rocks (no. 4). Another specimen was found while beating shrubs and herbs along a roadside (no. 48). Based on the key by Pic (1906), a reliable determination at species-level was not possible ( Fig. 4A ). Further investigations are needed to determine this species.
