I never saw a so colorful Dioctria before. Pic is taken today at Los Ojos de Pontin, in Rueda de Jalón, Saragossa, NE Spain. It's big for a Dioctria, about 15 mm lenght. It's urgent because I have it alive and if it can be identified externally, it will be released. If any character not visible in this photo but possible to photograph externally is necessary, please tell me! Thanks! Isidro Isidro attached the following image:  [69.07Kb] |

Maybe is even not a Dioctria? Hind tarsi fits well with this genus but abdomen shape seems wrong... |

It is a Dioctria, it looks very much like our (NL) common D. rufipes but with an infected abdomen. Internal parasites?
