Hi, this is a very interesting and big specimen. Came to light. By slow lowland brook.

I found a pic of a male from same location - is there a key? Shall I make a genitalia preparation? or is it hopeless?

I'm not up-to-date on this group - if it has a mainly dark hind tarsus segment 4, it's probably hyrcanus, I think.

Hmm, it seems white. If I look at the correct segment.
