Hello, I'm almost sure this is a Hybotidae, and it looks like a very small Platypalpus; is it ? Thank you very much for your help ! 25/6/2013, Vevey, Switzerland, on a wood fence in a little wood near a river Size: 2.2 mm (body) Caillou attached the following image:  [44.58Kb] Edited by Caillou on 01-07-2013 20:44 |

Tachydromiinae. Probably a Platypalpus with a weak mid leg. |

Thank you so much John ! It isn't very visible, just a bit in the first picture, but there is a small spur at the apex of the mid tibia; I think it confirms your diagnose. |

Great ! Thank you very much Paul ! I'll adjust the title accordingly, and I'll offer the pictures (a bit better than those) to the gallery as the specimen looks somewhat atypical with its "weak mid leg"; that way you will be able to use them or not as you see fit. |
