Thanks Tony. As I have checked out, O. manicata is only known from the Baleares, not to the Spanish mainland. |

It is known from France, Italy and Morocco, so I would be very surprised if it does not occur in Spain! But to be certain, it would be best to collect a male and check the genitalia.

I've collected three specimens but I think they are females. How can I separate both sexes with certainty? |
