The parafacialia are quite hairy, as is the abdomen, so Smidtia (or Timavia) conspersa seems a good candidate. Theo |

Thanks i have some other pics, are there features that should be possible to see on photo (so no genital features) to exclude other species? |

There is only 1 Smidtia (in West Palaearctic). If I could see 3 post DC, I would be 100 % sure, but even now I have little doubts. Theo |
