Hi Andre.

Thanks for your reply.
In fact there has only been one find of Chrysopilus aureus (syn. asiliformis) in the southernmost part of Sweden and that was in the first half of the 19th.Centuary!!

Considering the fact that no finds have been reported for over 150 years I want to be extra careful.

Is it not the case that auerus should have green-grey eyes (on a living individual)? Perhaps you know if this can vary?

Is it possible that there is another species in this genus (family) that has the same characteristics as the one in my picture? I assume that the differences between the species are extremely small.

Best regards,

Sven
