I would be more careful, if it is from Cyprus,... it looks smaller (thorax)and the red knees of the fore femora are are hardly visible but it a Neomochtherus/Cerdistus species, very similar to geniculatus... i would add a cf (to be compared with)

Dear Reinoud, I simply didn't see the picture was taken in Cyprus  I saw Hedy, from NL... and I couldn't see another possibility. If I had seen it was from Cyprus, I wouldn't even had opened my mouth  Your eagle-eye doesn't miss a thing!! |
