Thank you for your answer, Chris. Dinera ferina looks good for me.

Sorry to bother you,

* abdominal pattern
* comb on tibia 3 (have a good look !)

Thank you for the answer, Theo. You are the expert. The pattern of the abdomen is really better. Here is a better view of the fine comb. I didn't see it.

Excellent blowup, That is it !
Characteristic for the genus Billaea (that is, within Dexiini)
