Many thanks, Sundew. The eyes' colour is a helpful character for further identifications, I think. Good to know this.

I can't find anything about the distribution of E. meridionalis within Germany (except that it's been reported from Hessen in 2001 for the first time). This would be interesting, because in Denmark (and Scandinavia) it's not reported yet and I'm not far away from the danish border. Regarding the map on Fauna Europaea it seems to be a more southern species, so this species would be rather unlikely. But this is only speculation and I better name it Ectopsocus sp. :-)
