Good morning,

The photos are not of very good quality but I have the individual in the collection and I can take photos of certain criteria if necessary. I posted this individual on insecte.org but we hesitate between Paykullia and Kirbya.

Personally I thought of Paykullia maculata because the wings are not darkened. Do you think we can determine this individual?
