Hello, this pic was taken by Divi Aparicio

http://www.biodiv..._id=275605

- In Soria (C. Spain)
- in a pool next to a road
- 906m
- 3-june

I have no info about P. ralloi or P. flavitarsis, but in Faune de France's keys it seems just 3 species have that R2+3, could it be P. quadripunctata or P. littoralis?

Thanks in advance for any help :)

Parydra coarctata has fork of R2+3 not darkened, size 4 mm.

Parydra littoralis has fork 2+3 darkened, cheeks high (eye-to-cheek ratio about 2:1, see lateral view), size 4.5-5 mm

Parydra quadripunctata has fork R2+3 darkened, cheeks low (ratio 4:1, size 3.5-4 mm.:)
