Do you have picture of thorax from side view? There are two possibilities: Palloptera umbellatarum and Toxoneura modesta. P.u. seems to be more probably according to wing color pattern, but I am not absolutely sure without seeing setae on thorax from side view...

No, sorry, this is the only picture I could take.

Interesting, thanks! I did not know of Toxoneura modesta. I guess this is a newer synonym of
Palloptera modesta?

Yes, Jürgen. I follow the nomenclature of Ozerov. T. modesta = P. modesta. I will chek my collection inthe museum tomorrow and maybe it help us to identify your animal exactly.

So, for 95%, you can call your animal P. umbellatarum, Juergen!

Hello Juergen,
In
Toxoneura modesta there is no spot on the anal vein. So
T. modesta is not an option.
