No idea of the genus or even family. Notice the tiny wings and strong sexual dymorphism. Found today in Lisbon, Portugal.

Thans you,
Joaquim

Hi, Joaquim!

Just a guess: Berytidae? (Hemiptera)

Micrelytra fossularum (Alydidae)

Alves, do not forget to go to Porto Covo... because I am sure now it is very interesting for Stratiomyidae. Wink Look for Pycnomalla splendens as well. Surely Porto Covo has it as well. And if possible collect.. Thanks.

Nice hemipterans! Smile

Thank you, Black, I would never get it myself!

I was planning to go to Porto Covo this weekend but it didn't work, Jorge. Anyway, I never collect the critters! But I'll look for it.
