thanks for the hint, Roger... are you sure about that?
..then I will go again tomorrow and catch some.. :)
there are only minor to none reports about appearance in Belgium...
or maybe there are synonyms in the lowlands?...and Paul is on vacation :)

There are probably many species of Clinocerinae not in the gallery.
