Hello,
this Sphaeroceridae allowed only 1 photo on 7 Sept. 2019 in a village north of Hannover, Germany. It is sitting near a very small creek in moist environment. I think it is a Borborillus sp., and hope it can be named.

Thank you very much!
Hans

Hello,

as far as I know there are only B. uncinatus and vitripennis listed for Germany. Might B. vitripennis be O.K.?

Regards, Hans

Hi Dave,

thanks a lot for your determination! I confess I got "the wrong glasses on".

Cheers, Hans
