What could it be ?

Thanks Jaakko :) It is a new species for me. Is it a female ?
Could you tell me if the features you use to go to
Admontia are:
Topcel closed
Scutellum with at least 4 erect bristles
Bristles on cheeks
And the vein m, m-cu and cu, are they always darkened like that ?

?? Admontia
You mean Ramonda, I guees.
Yes, those are the features.
Ramonda is in Wagneriini, very characteristic tribe.

Sexing is tricky in Wagneriini, but yes, it looks like a female
