Sorry but it is not Hebecnema. The adbomen with large dark triangular spots sounds more like Spilogona spec. The altitude too.



I read your tip and while trying to get a clue about it, I read again H. vespertina description and it convinces me that it could be this one. I don't even see those triangles you mentioned.



Rozkosny says:

1- about Hebecnema sp. males "[...] abdomen has no paired spots"

2- and about H. vespertina "wings moderately brownish" and for males " [...] abdomen with a short black midline (often absent in T4)"


From the picture it appears like that (the red area starts on the right, with T4, with no black midline, and continues to the left with the black midline visible)
