The crossvein -- R2 or R4 depending on author -- ends in R1 so this should be Keroplatus. Additional character to check is laterotergite haired (Keroplatus) or bare (other Keroplatini).

Thanks you very much, John ! :)

The laterotergite seems hairy on this picture (?)

With the cerci, maybe K. dispar ?

K. dispar appears to be correct, also based on wing venation and pattern.
