Dear Eugene,

the quality of your pictures is very high.
Morphological characters are always well visible, congratulations :ok:

However, could you set your camera to adjust the white balance?
Because it's a pity to have such beautiful pictures with dominant greenish/bluish colour. I think that should be quite easy for you. Otherwise, you can correct the colours by using Photoshop or similar programs. In some cases colours and colour patterns are very important for a correct ID.

Is this the true colour of your specimen?

I think that also this one could be an undescribed species.
Could you take a picture of the male flagellomeres?

Cheers
Paolo

Paolo thank you for your appreciation. I know that my photos are not perfect.
After your processing, the photo became better, the color was fully preserved.
Here's what I got.

Paolo, you were helped by the photo of flagellomeres and the genital capsule.
What can we say about this now?

Hi Eugene,

to be honest ... I have no idea :(
I suspect that this is another new species, I should examine it personally.
Do you have extra specimens?

Cheers
Paolo
