I would be very pleased if somebody could identify this one.
Aprox. 2 cm large.
Shot in semiarid scrubland with halofite plants at around 700 masl in Telat-Azlaf in eastern Rif, Marocco.

not one i know, does look like Exhyalanthrax but 2cm is very large for this genus and face too retreating, probably Villa or close genus.

Hi David,
I was looking at the photos of Exhyalanthrax and I thought this one looked like them, but I had no idea of the size they usually have. You are right that it could be Villa. Let see if some other expert knows.
Thanks a lot,
Guillermo

Another go. Could this be Villa?
