Hello Maherjos, Yes, it is a Camillidae as indicated by the costal spines. No similar looking Ephydridae share that feature as far as I know. (or Paul might disagree?) Unfortunately in Europe several species of Camilla are known with completely orange legs and they can only be identified reliably by the male terminalia. The most common one is Camilla flavicauda, but on the Iberian peninsula there is also C. kynodontia and C. sabroskyi, which have the entirely yellow legs. As your specimen is a female... Kind regards, Ectemnius Edited by Ectemnius on 02-05-2018 10:08 |

Kind regards, Ectemnius Ectemnius, in any case, I am very grateful for your help and explanations. I hope to be lucky at least to find a male specimen in the future.  Cordial greetings from the south of Spain. José Marín (Maherjos) |
