I think this may belong to the family Diastatidae, what do you think? Maybe Diastata costata? location: Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal date: 06/09/2009  |

I agree with Diastata. Not sure about costata.

Jorge is right ! there is a male of Diastata ! I found a similar genus in the Baltic Amber called Pareuthychaeta described by Hennig

If you have any dorsal shots we might be able to say whether it is costata or not.

Diastata costata seems a likely candiate but lets see whether I can also dig up that paper from my moving boxes. They boxes are in a rather inaccessible corner atm I'm afraid...

Hehe, to some extent: The paper is in my office and I won't be there until March 1st.

I'll refrain from a species ID: costata and similar species all should have pale legs with possibly some darkening on the femora. Here we have brownish legs, even dark. Dark legs are found in adusta and boreonigra, but these should have a distinct dark bannd on the posterior cross vein and based on the above image I think it is stretching it a bit.
