Dear Geir79,

Wonderful pictures of what looks like the female of Hydrophorus albiceps. At least, that is what I can deduce from the pictures (wing with two dark spots, and the entire face and clypeus silvery white). No detail can be seen of the bristles on the fore femur, unfortunately.

If you are really interested in the true identity of the specimens you photographed, it's always good to collect a few (primarily males) and get them identified by a taxonomic specialist.

Cheers,
Marc
