Hi,
this very nice Silvius was caught in Slovenia (near mount Sneznic) around 10th of july.
Is it S.alpinus?

genus right. For species wait for Libor or Theo.

Wait for Theo. I do not know algirus. This might be algirus as well as alpinus.
Libor

Libor is right, it agrees with algirus.
I'm not familiar with this species either, but it totally agrees.
Congratulations !

Thanks for ID!
Exact coordinates (on google maps): 45.569825,14.298953, this is east of Ilirska bistrica, on the road to Mount Sneznic.
Caught in an ancient quarry.
To bad I did collect almost nothing :(
