Info
This key covers the four genera and some species of Aspicerinae found in northern Europe.
Note that
Callaspidia dahlholmi
and
Callaspidia defonscolombei
are very morphologically similar and that intermediate specimens exist. It is possible that
C. dahlholmi
is just a variant of
C. defonscolombei
.
