I suspect this is Villa hottentotta. Is my assumption correct? Animal photographed (and collected) in Portugal, near Porto, last week.

Thanks in advance.

Hmmm, should have read previous posts before posting this one. Probably impossible from photograph. Fortunately i have collected the specimen, so maybe someone can tell me the distinguishing features since i don't have a key.

Thanks Mossnisse, i will give it a try. Although not all Potugese species (according to Fauna Europaea) are in the key, it will give me a direction...
