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.
