Following Oosterbroek - Bygebjerg - Munk key in Entomologischen Berischten 66(5): 138-149, Ctenophora elegans seems to be correct.
In any way, waiting for a more expert opinion may be a good idea.

hi,

thanks to all for helping on this.

now running the specimen through the key ended on C.(C.) elegans.
- the whitish macrotrichia are there
- hypopygium looks the same, the only difference is that on this specimens is not so hairy.

thanks for the paper jalucapo.

if you know any bulgarian/or other person interested in full detail of this just let me know. specially that this after FEu is not yet known in Bulgaria.
