It is close to, but certainly not identical to African P. violacea (on the picture, differing by the shape of white tometose spot at frontal orbit, cuneiform rather than round (on my picture). I suppose it can be another new species, for we (Elena Kameneva and I) have nothing like that in the material of the revision of Physiphora, worldwide.
Collecting a male is especially important, for highly complicated male phallus structure is highly species-specific.
