Could someone tell me the genus? Thanks in advance Rafael rafael_carbonell attached the following image: [145.45Kb] Edited by rafael_carbonell on 23-11-2020 09:21

From what I can see now, the lateral view resembles hydei, but the tip of the first costal segment seems to be darkened, which would indicate repleta... I'm sorry for the pictures; also I took the pictures on the tips of my feet rafael_carbonell attached the following image: [195.36Kb] Edited by rafael_carbonell on 07-01-2013 19:51

In central Europe D. hydei becomes more common while the number of D. repleta is descending. Edited by Jan Maca on 18-11-2020 16:52
