Here you can find a picture of two reliable D. huegelii.
They are difficult beetles and a good preparation helps a lot.
We have to know how long the antenommere III is (does it reach the first, the second pronotal tooth or the basis?). Are the antennae tooth from the article 3, 4, 5 or 6?
Here, I do not understand. |

None of these characters belong to D. huegellii.
It should be Dorysthenes buqueti (Guérin-Méneville, 1844) |
