Very good pictures! Unfortunately, identification is not possible without a specimen.

Much obliged.

I'll remember for other possible matches.
With the insect in its power, would you know to identify it.?
Would be enough enlarged details of some parts of the insect, to proceed with your ID?.

Best regards.

Some species can be identified from good pictures, but usually I need to make microscope slides of the actual specimen to provide reliable IDs.

Some species can be identified from good pictures, but usually I need to make microscope slides of the actual specimen to provide reliable IDs. If you have the specimen, you can send it to me (in 75% alcohol) and I'll see what I can do. The species on these pictures looks like an interesting one...
Notice that for most genera, only males can be identified - they are easily recognised on the presence of several pairs of appendages on the tip of the abdomen.
