Hi,

last weekend (27.october.2007) i was in a small reserve from Romania.
Turda Gorges, limestone area, 500->700m.
collected from vegetation close to water edge.

i think is some kind of Parydra but i don't know to go furter.
any further identification is possible? need to prepare genitalia?
photo of mounted specimens, only one found.

thanks in advance for the help,
cosmln

It's always wise to, at least, pull the genitalia out. Bend them away from the body, so ventral side becomes visible.

Yes, I agree - it is aquila (or some closely-related, undescribed, Romanian sibling species Wink)
