Not determinable?

Hi,

You might have some exotic species there by the Mediterranean, but here this could be Pales pavida: strong bristles high above the vibrissae, rather dark and reddish tibiae.

It is a Pales, indeed.

However, there are more species on Sardinia.
See a recent review by Cerretti in Zootaxa.
