Back to Rhagionidae: Last week I asked (without success) for a small species found in the central alps. Looking arround I found a possible name ( erythrophthalmus?) and older photos from the same location:

#1194 Austria / Osttirol: Innervillgraten, Kalksteinerbach, 1450m, VIII.2005. This should be the male:

#9302 same location, VIII.2004 female and couple:

Is here anybody, who agrees - or has a better name? ;-)
Best regards

Hi Frank

Very nice pictures !

I'm not familiar with erythrocephala myself, but it should be a very large Chrysopilus, and yours don't look large.
Following the keys, it should be Ch. luteolus or similar species (Ch. laetus?).

Thank you very much, Theo!
Yes it was a smaller species.
First it?s nice to have a shure family or genus identification. So it?s easier later, to give the collected specimen to an expert.
Best regards
