Hello,

I took this foto on La Gomera, South-East part of the island, close to Casas de Contrera on April, 8th 2016, about 400m above sea level. It was rather small, I guess about 10mm, rather less.
Any ideas?

Thanks a lot,

Marc

Tolmerus sp. i dare not make anything of the species, but something close to cf fuscus.....That species should have entirely black femora...
