Hi Pietro,

All of the above specimens are Leptomydas sardous. The females and males of Mydidae are sometimes differently coloured and therefore difficult to associate. The females are most often also bigger than the males. Since you collected all specimens at the same time at the same locality, it is fair to assume that they represent the same species.

Great images!
