Hello! This was found by János Barna in Hungary, 2021-03-28. I see that eyes are clearly separated, there’s a big distance between the two eyes. I have seen, that there are two really similar species: Panzeria puparum and Bothria frontosa. I have seen, that in puparum, eyes aren’t really separated, there’re almost touching, or touching. But in Bothria the eyes are separated, as in these pictures. About this, I think that this is a Bothia frontosa. Is this a good feature to distinguish them? Or is there anithyng else what we can use? For me these species are really similar.
