I have doubts between these two species. Any idea? Caught 24/09/2012 on the beach, near Barcelona, Catalonia. Jorge attached the following image: [119.89Kb] Edited by Jorge on 25-09-2012 20:39 Jorge Mederos |

I think this is Hecamede albicans. To my knowledge, H.maritima has not been found in Europe yet. If you still have the specimen, look under the base of the basal segment of the front tarsus. If it has 2 or 3 black setae, it is albicans. If it hasn't, please send me the specimen!
