Always need to check the pic in Bei Bienko.
Indeed, fortisetosa. And East-European and Asian species.

Hi Theo,
thanks for your help.
another new for Romania after FaunaEU. is is? or?
several specimens collected (~10) this days don't know if all the same species (you need some specimens?).
this is in a so bad shape because was on me, i was all sweaty just feel something crawling on me...
this where interesting for me because of the size, very small (~3mm).
this is not yet in the gallery, deserve this to go there?

Yes, fortisetosa is much smaller than cervi.
I caught them in Poland and Czech republic, it is an Asian species, so to be expected in Romania.
However, hardly anybody knows this species.
