A very small species photographed in Ohrid last week (North Macedonia.)
Can anyone help with the ID?

Hi Paul, it's a Phthiria sp.
Do you have another view (dorsal) to find the species?

Hi!
It looks more like Geron male to me. Given the location, it could be G. krymensis.

Greetings,
Henrik

Hi Henrik! Totally agree - Phthiria looks more slender.

Thanks, Eric
