I think it could be C. pyrenaeus

Cyrtopogon pyrenaeus is not the same than C. pyrenaicus, right?

C. pyrenaicus does not exist.
Only C. pyrenaeus --- http://www.fauned...ilidae.pdf see page 81

Obrigado, meu amico!
Then C. pyrenaeus is a very variable species in colour.
I did not get the photos and video of the courtship but at least I got of the species! Thanks for your patience.
