Well, at least it seems to have a row of ventral bristles on hind femora as it should have :) I don't know if this is enough to be absolutely certain (again, my experience with eastern species is none) but being the only species cited in Rhodes I think you are quite safe naming it Amictus pulchellus ;)

Amictus pulchellus is supposedly also found in Spain. However I have never seen anything that could make me remotely suspect it was that species. The common species here is Amictus variegatus. These pictures are very useful for me!! Thanks for posting!! :)
