Looks and sounds right. If you have some specimens I can give final confirmation. Stilpon is far from completely known, even in Europe...

Many thanks to all - yes I have some specimens Paul - male genitalia too complex for me to interpret...

Hi Dima,
Paul gave correct identification - S. graminum, with normally developed wings.
All the best,
Igor
