Hello, this specimen was collected in Romania, in August 2024, in Danube Delta, near the Black Sea shore, using YPT.
It is possible to tell more than Scatopsidae?

This is a representative of tribe Rhegmoclematini, most probably a female of genus Parascatopse . Some halophilous species are frequently found near sea-shore.
Is the antennal flagellum 8-segmented ?

Hello, thanks for your message! The picture is not very recent, as the specimen is now in a tube in the freezer. But when I will have time to search for it, I will provide more pictures also with the antennae.

All the best,
Alex
