The specimen below is an Estheria specimen that I collected in Corinth in 09/25/2022. For the generic identification I used Moschweb (http://www.tachin...chweb.aspx) and for the specific one this paper (https://www.resea..._the_genus). I think that I probably managed to correctly id the female, but I would like a second opinion (especially for couplet 15, where postpronotum color is used as a character. What do you believe?

Thanks!

I added a lateral shot of the head using my phone camera, plus a lateral one using the stereoscope, for bigger detail (e.g., rows of parafacial).

By the way, I have sent you a PM about the Phyto from Lesvos and will upload an uknown Stevenia soon, too.
