No, not Carcelia (eye too small) ... not sure what it is though

Looks somehow strange. Can it be Nemorilla? I can´t remember if they have such tibiae and I don´t have any specimens at hand. Are the eyes really hairy? If not, could be Thecocarcelia. |

Looks very shiny for both those options - I am confused so I'd prefer to see a specimen to be sure

Thanks for looking at these, Jaakko and Chris. The eyes are definitely hairy. I think my less than perfect photography is making it look different to reality. I still like Carcelia, but I will put it in the ever filling box of specimens to send to Chris |

It is a really odd little specimen too - the smallest Carcelia I have ever seen
