Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| F. Fanti and L. J. Walker 2019 | The new species is easily distinguished from the subsequent new species by its shorter elytra that are also wider than the pronotum, which has straight margins. Furthermore, Cantharis bradburyi sp. nov. differs from: C. brodiei (Heyden & Heyden, 1866) by its overall larger dimensions, pronotum less transverse, and shorter elytra (surpassing the body in C. brodiei); from C. caduca (Heyden & Heyden, 1866) by the larger dimensions, rounded head (elongated in C. caduca), and different pronotal shape (in C. caduca the pronotum is longer); from C. exauctarata (Heyden & Heyden, 1866) by the pronotum being less rounded at sides, head more rounded, and shorter elytra; and from C. carbonaria (Heyden & Heyden, 1866) by the much narrower pronotum and different length of antennomeres with particularly the second antennomere being much shorter than the third (Heyden & Heyden, 1866; Meunier, 1915; Fanti, 2017). Other Cantharis Linnaeus, 1758 compressions have been described from the nearly coeval Enspel Fossil Lagerstätte, Germany, the early Miocene of Radoboj, Croatia, the Upper/Middle Miocene of Oeningen, Germany, and in the Baltic amber (Fanti, 2017; Fanti & Damgaard, 2018; Kazantsev, 2018; Fanti & Poschmann, 2019). |
