 Nice! Mallota cimbiciformis would be my idea. How many did you find?

 I collected five larvas but only four gave an imago (two males and two females).
With the key StN, I find Mallota dusmeti, thus new for France.
At the end of May, I see Martin Speight. I hope that he will confirm my identification.

 Martin identified Mallota eurasiatica. A very big surprise because present only in Greece and Ukraine.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
