Thanks - I think you are right Andrzej! When I look clooser there is a vibrissa, which I don´t think Psilidae has got.....

Check also pls the pale hairs on dorsal part of scutellum. I see that the costal spines
are small. Maybe it's a darker form of
Suillia bicolor... Andrzej

Yes, there are onlu short, adpressed pale hairs on scutellum (no dark hairs), and short costal spines. So Suillia bicolor seems to be a very good choice. Thanks!
