Member Location: Vienna, Austria Posts: 1963 Joined: 23.06.15	Thanks, John! That's what I was looking for, and the key leeds indeed to Dynatosoma, as Esko suggested. I think it is a female, so I don't know whether the species can be IDes, but if there are few members with such a red abdomen, maybe it is possible nevertheless?
