That's Oscinellinae, but it's difficult by picture, maybe better if you show above view for sure, I couldn't see some Characters for identifying, I guess that's Oscinisoma but I'm not sure; If I want to consider giving not flat meso. I'm coming to another option that I suspect most will be wrong, i think. sometimes in Chloropidae some genera very looks like together..., Angry I am curious for other reactions!! Smile
Sincerely yours
Sara

Thank's Sara Smile If I believe, that the mesonotum is in fact slightly flattened, then the key goes straigth to Oscinisoma gognatum. That would be a new species for me again Grin
