Hello,
Is it possible to get to genus with this Tecophora?
(It seems to me that the theca is projecting forward, so I can't manage with the the key.

I think it is not possible to be sure the species with these photos. If you have the specimen you can try to take detailed photos to the last sternites.

I let it sleep on its weed, so it will remain Tecophora sp.
Thanks Jorge :)
