Yes, it's going to be one of the Dinera/Estheria/Billaea group Smile

14. Simultaneously: propleuron bare AND tergite 2 dorsally hollowed to the posterior edge. Tergites 3 and 4 with discal bristles .......... Estheria
- Propleuron hairy (as in fig. 90); when rarely bare or almost bare, then tergite 2 is hollowed at most to the middle. Tergites 3 and 4 without discal bristles (at most with a few stronger hairs in the upright hairs on the posterior edge of males) .......... 15

15. Parafrontalia with dense hairs. Fore tarsus as long as head height or shorter. Tergite 2 always hollowed to the posterior edge. Hind tibia ad in males (and often also in females) with a regular bristle comb (fig. 160) .......... Billaea
- Parafrontalia bare or (rarely) with up to 20 small hairs on each side. Fore tarsus longer than the height of the head. Tergite 2 often not quite hollowed to the posterior edge. Hind tibia ad in males and females with rather uneven bristlets (fig. 164) .......... Dinera


I can't make out the propleuron but if you can then this key should be easy to follow Smile After squinting at the picture I think it might be hairy ... then it runs to Dinera ... maybe ferina again Smile

Yes, Dinera ferina it is. My previous ferina had nearly bare arista and this one plumose. Has this anything to do with the sex of the species ?

If you had a similar with not as plumose arista, it must be Billaea. Please check. Female Dinera are easy mix up with Billaea because of the shorter legs.
