Hi,
back to this.
about the male i have just received news (from Pjotr Oosterbroek) that this belong to:
Chionea (Sphaeconophilus) botosaneanui (Burghele-Balacesco 1969)
i don't know what i have done with the female so not sure about the name for that one.
i have also anoher species ID-ed, i will come back to photo for gallery with both.
