Rui, please don't add the image hosting link to the images. Images are slightly reduced here, but clicking the image will show a bigger version... at least, that is, if they are not enclosed in another link. ;)

Epithalassius (I think)

Sorry Paul, I didn't notice the problem.

Thank you Phil. Can someone confirm the ID?

Epithalassius sanctimarci Mik (Venetia, Corsica, southern Spain) is more probable than Epithalassius corsicanus Becker (Corsica, Israel; St. Helena). It would be very useful to compare their male genitalia.

Dear Rui, Phil,
I can send you my paper with a key to Epithalassius species, and you will identify your material. Please contact me by e-mail
