Moved
Moved from Midges. It will take some work to find out whether there are any Brillia species that look like this; apparently size can distinguish them from Xylotopus in practice though size is not part of the generic diagnosis as far as I know.

Where's the rest?
Please add front legs, and indicate size. Compare Xylotopus par.
