 Thanks Theo, really interesting!
I compared also the female with Steven Falk keys.
Great coincidence, only the size is superior in my specimens.

 Hmmm, the calypter is very hairy, so I would start looking in Bellardia.

 "regentwun" on Flickr suggests:
"Rognes 1991 to judge the genitalia. However, notice the single pv on the fore tibia, the yellow palpi, the olive colored abdomen, wing venation and lack of distals on T4. The cerci and surstyli are all that you need to verify the species."
