Hmm... Egle seems right. But is it E.ciliata? Palps seems very small for a E.ciliata We also can't see clear if there are 4 dc on thorax And it seems a very small species..? Joke Edited by javanerkelens on 19-03-2010 13:37 |

Yes, it is small. I'll see if I can extract any useful detail from the photos. I think the third one may show 4 pdcs - perhaps it is E. brevicornis. If only 3 dc it looks as if life might get complicated |

Egle ciliata / brevicornis / parva have broad palps and are about 4-6 mm Other species are mostly smaller ..2,4 - 3 mm So without good sharp photos i think it wil be difficult... Or...collect Joke |

I had a good look at the photos - no hope at all I can just about make out that it does have some dcs. I'll try to collect one |
