I took this photo a couple of minutes before and so you can see the habitat, wich i think is interesting to place the habitat also, it is a herbaceos with few threes and cows...

Visible characters are for Mesembrina cf intermedia. But I have never work specially with Mesembrina and I don't know if there are some undercurrents in this genus. |

Do you have specimen in your collection? Mesembrina intermedia have 1+1 katepisternal setae, M. meridiana only 0+1 katepisternal, but I have read that sometimes also M. meridiana hve 1+1 setae. Look also on 5th tarsomere of fore leg (yellow-> M. meridiana; brown-> M. intermedia). I have in my collection specimen looking like M. meridiana but in my opinion also has characters of M. intermedia. Maybe specialist should see this photo. |

No, but the place is not very far from where i spend my vacances on holydays, so it will be easy to reach the place and i image that won't be difficult to catch them. I will do it, so, in july or augoust, so if anybody is interested tell me in order to send them. Thank you |

Having just sorted though the finnish Mesembrina material, it's my opinion that this one is not M. intermedia. I dont know all possible south european Mesembrina species, but among the central european ones, I'd call this M. meridiana.
