A female of Tephrochlamys sp.
A very dark specimen. It would be nice to exam some specimens including males ;).

Thanks Andrzej
The only one on my checklist is Tephrochlamys rufiventris,could this be it?
Sorry...I don't collect specimens, only photograph them.
Regards Roger

It could be recognized as T. rufiventris in the literature but I am not sure :-( about this specimen !
