Hi Jari, Could be Palloptera usta (or Toxoneura usta depending on which generic devision you follow). Are there any bristles/hairs on the mesopleura? If so, which colour are those bristles/hairs. For as far as I can see, it looks like the mesopleura are not bare. Jan Willem van Zuijlen |

Hi, thank You for Your answer. Yes there are black bristles on the mesopleuron (anepisternum). Some longer and heavier and some thinner. All dark anyway. Jari |

Okay, that would make it Palloptera usta (Toxoneura usta).
