This specimen was found on August 5th on the Greek island of Samos. It looks like a member of the Lonchaeidae family, but is it possible to reach genus or species level? Any help with the identification is highly appreciated.

Hi - yes definitely Lonchaeidae - if I had to guess I would say Silba sp - but the photos are not clear enough to see the key features ...... Iain
