It's the first time I see one of these, found in the atlantic forest, TapiraĆ­, Brazil.
It wasn't disturbed easily, and when I managed to spook it getting too close it always just landed close to the previous place, and almost always sitting with the abdomen pointing foward.
Measured about 5mm.

I assume the species will be in here: http://www.mapres...a.1510.1.1. The paper is not open access and I have not read it.

Thank you so much
the wing and distribution are matching Chrysopilus hyalinus sp. n., but the body, eyes and ocelli colors on the description aren't

"General color dark brown. Eyes brownish to yellow, facets heterogeneous, ocellar tubercle dark brown, ocelli yellowish."
