Thank you very much.
I think I don't have more photos. There are something important that you can try to photograph the next time?.
Best regards,
Luis

You angle of view is almost perfect because one can see the dorsal as the pleural chaetotaxy (and the most important part of legs one too), but unfortunately, Helina is a difficult genus to Id even with good pictures because small details are often needed. For this particular case, I would have needed to see the hind femur chaetotaxy (ventral part). Helina can also have small setulae on ventral side of radial node and/or under the scutellum, such things are not visible on pictures.
