Jorge, do you never sleep?
But are the antennae the right colour for S sterc? And are those ventral bristles on the front femur, or is it a trick of the light? But perhaps I'm the one who needs sleep!

I don't trust in the coloration (usually). :) I'm not entirely sure in the species...

Good morning Jorge! I must stop posting after midnight:|
But I'm curious now. Is S inquinata a candidate? (wild speculation based on two photos only; the dark-tipped antenna and the strong bristle on the front shin seem to fit, but maybe not much else.)

Hi! I gave a look to the candidate species' photos in the gallery..in effect the antenna seem more similar to the ones of S inquinata (the first photo could be misleading because it's a backlighting, but the second one should be quite reliable)..but i don't know..
