Concerning message #21477:
Dear Bill,
I apologize my overlooking part of the distribution of Thordisa azmanii. Yes, this species has been also recorded from southern Portugal and from an area of southern Lisboa. Nevertheless, I think that the Galician animal is T. azmanii.
Concerning to the spiral-shaped prostate, this this is the main feature of T. filix (see Pruvot-Fol, 1951), not of T. azmanii nor T. diuda. I hope to have clarified this issue.
Best.
Lucas.

Thanks for clarifying these points so quickly and sorry for misinterpreting your comments about the prostate. That T. filix has a spiral prostate makes much more sense.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
