Spotted this beauty at more 1600 m.
It was in the highest point in Valdelinares...

Which this 3 mm phasiin could be?

thanks!

The abdominal pattern and length of stalk suggest to me a male of Graphogaster. Moreover, i think i see a hairlike third IA'bristle'.

Jorge can easily check this hypothesis:

prosternum hairy -> Graphogaster
prosternum bare -> Rondania

I used a small hand loupe and it seems bare the prosternum. I will try to take photos in this zone.

Incredibly small - very tiny black hairs, often around the edge and can be just 1 hair Smile and you are looking at the smallest piece of chitin between and infront of the front legs in the centre - almost under the 'chin'. Smile

i know where is it. But my doubt resides only in the lenght of the possible hairs. Wink ok.. I must seek carefully for any very small ~"hair".

Yeah, they can be very small but should be clearly visible at about 40x magnification. Smile

Not clearly to see... really 40x magnification is needed.

OK, not as long as I suspected. Erikas might be right.

Still, hairs on prosternum are decisive.

These are very long and obvious in Graphogaster
