Hello,

A Keroplatidae found in France, Clairmarais, under a piece of decaying wood, in a cocoon (?), in a forest, the August 30 2014
Maybe a Cerotelion ?

The crossvein -- R2 or R4 depending on author -- ends in R1 so this should be Keroplatus. Additional character to check is laterotergite haired (Keroplatus) or bare (other Keroplatini).

K. dispar appears to be correct, also based on wing venation and pattern.
