Hi Rui

Unfortunately with Lonchaeids its not always easy to tell the genus form a photo such as this, esoecially with southern European material. The specimen could belong to the genus Lonchaea but it could also be a Setisquamalonchaea or even a Silba! ...... Iain

Dear Iain, thank you very much for your answer! Well, next time I'll have to collect the specimen.
