Nearly impossible to say with just that picture but... I thought the copula is closer to
Machimus pilipes instead of
Neoepitriptus . Aren't the tibiae of the male too hairy for
Neoepitriptus?? :S :S
However, I also thought the female and the male of the first pictures were
Neoepitriptus B) Two species really in the whole lot to me ;)

Engel mentions long white hair for femora and tibiae (when ventral bristles are lacking on f1) I wonder sometimes if he actually describes two species under the name inconstans.... : ))) Maybe one day we will understand...

Thanks for your reply, Reinoud! I see your point fully ;)
Honestly, the more I read the less I understand :@ But this is why I like them; no fun if it is too easy :D
