Although you made many pictures of the genitalia i still can't see the shape of the epandrium properly... : ) This is probably a species close to Machimus cribratus.

Thank Reinoud!
Sorry, I haven't photographed the Hypandrium during the dissection. This if the only prospective in which it is visible. I have photographed the terminals of the female, con they be useful?

Thank you. I can see enough, i think : ) or not, the shape seems to differ from the drawings of M. cribratus i have. I hope that the ovipositor will confirm at least the creature belongs to the Machimus/Tolmerus group : )
