Hi everyone,
I found this small one on a wall in the urban area close to Paris. I struggle with the criteria of the face pilosity but I would say it is obscura rather than nigrina .

Thank you !

Check my recent review, ever since Van der Goot the literature has been very confusing on the continent. Nigrina is strictly Scandinavian, it is all, indeed, obscura.
