This is actually the female of Entomophaga exoleta, a very rare species. It is restricted, so far, to sandy areas, is very rare, as said. I have seen material from Crete, Israel and ... a large population just 5 km. from my home !


I thought it looked like Siphonini, but the Central European key says only Goniocera has discals on T3 or T4.
