Each year when I have visited Cyprus particularly but also other countries in the Mediterranean I have been struck by the number of bristletails and related species that I find outdoors, under stones. I find this group fascinating but there seems to be little published (at least not that I can find) and very little on the internet. Sadly even with keys I doubt I could identify them myself as poor (and deteriorating) manual dexterity is severely restricting me in every day activities and in typing as well as in natural history as I cannot manipulate small things, undertake microscopy etc which is very frustrating. Fortunately I am still at present managing to take reasonable photographs.

This year in addition to the two species I see annually I had two further species which look to be to be distinctive. These I did collect with a permit if there is any specialist in this group who would be interested to look at the specimens.

I wonder if anyone could help as I am keen to know what they are and it would be good to get more people aware of these. Is there a specialist out there who could help with these please?

This one was photographed and collected at Korucam Burn. in the north of Cyprus on 6 April 2018. I think it is perhaps another Ctenolepisma species.

Any specialist help would be very greatly appreciated.
