Hi Black, It is a Thelaira, either nigripes or solivaga. There are several ad-bristles on the tibia 2, which indicates solivaga. But I see hardly any trace of ve-bristles on the head, despite the superb pictures. This would indicate nigripes. However, on one side even the vi is missing, which should always be there. There is always the possibility of bristles breaking and getting lost. This is easy to see on through a microscope, it leaves a pore. However, invisible on picture. Therefore, I think this is Thelaira solivaga with a missing bristle or 2. Theo Zeegers |
