Limnia sp., details of genitalia needed to know the species.

A better focus on legs would make the determination possible as well.

I rather provide some legs than search for the hypandrium :-)
Just not sure on which pair to focus on. Hope this helps

Based on the additional pictures I'm sure that it L. unguicornis. This fits as well with the habitat.

well, that is good to hear. I head this specimen photographed at the same spot the same day and IDed it as *L. unguicornis*

Also, I read of the hypothesis that L. paludicola is actually the same species, but with multiple different characters (hypandrium and legs), that should be a good argument for two separate species, right?
