I know this is likely to be too difficult to say, but provisionally I think this is Atelestus pulicarius - it appears to have long hairs/bristles on the mid tibia. However in the absence of comparative material of A. dissonans, can A, dissonans be ruled out with any confidence? Is anyone able to make out which species this is from the attached images?
