I thought this was a female of Nowickia, but is it possible with the first tarsal segment not all black ? (Belgium, 12-09-2006) Christine Devillers attached the following image:  [143.21Kb] Edited by Christine Devillers on 20-12-2008 20:53 |

I'm not sure how much variation they have but Nowickia would be my best guess too  |

It is a female Nowickia ferox. What you see as 'not black' might be a bristle out of focus. Theo |

Well-spotted Theo - it looks actually like a piece of straw/grass crossing the picture and making the basitarsus look pale |
