 I just ID-ed some Romanian Themira nigricornis and I have very strong doubts about Nikita's ID. Contrary to its name (nigricornis indicating black antennae) the species is supposed to have an orange base of the antennae. Morover, the legs should be partly yellow and in the above picture they are completely black. So, Nikita, what was your reason to ID it as T. nigricornis?

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
