No idea of the genus or even family. Notice the tiny wings and strong sexual dymorphism. Found today in Lisbon, Portugal.

Thans you,
Joaquim

Hi, Joaquim!

Just a guess: Berytidae? (Hemiptera)

Micrelytra fossularum (Alydidae)

Alves, do not forget to go to Porto Covo... because I am sure now it is very interesting for Stratiomyidae. ;) Look for Pycnomalla splendens as well. Surely Porto Covo has it as well. And if possible collect.. Thanks.

Nice hemipterans! :)

Thank you, Black, I would never get it myself!

I was planning to go to Porto Covo this weekend but it didn't work, Jorge. Anyway, I never collect the critters! But I'll look for it.
