Hello,

I think this one is a Dysmachus ? But I don't know if it's possible to know the species.

Yesss, that is a male Dysmachus hamulatus. Strangely enough you can see the characteristic yellow hair on the ventral side of the hypopygium better on the picture with the whole creature.

Greattt, thank you very much !
So Dysmachus harpax has black hair on the ventral side of the hypopygium ?

:-) No, harpax has typical long projections at the tips of the epandria (upper claspers). But there are more smaller Dysmachus species, hamulatus has this typical bush of yellow hair on the ventral side of the gonopods (lower claspers).
