Platystomatidae; Platystoma seminationis I think.

The pictures do not show the reddish sides of scutellum, or the scuellar setae, it cannot be IDd exactly, but the wing pattern is typical for P. lugubre R.-D., a large species up to10-11 mm with sparse patches of yellowish tomentum. Alexaandru: can you please check if there are reddish tinge on the sides of scutellum and setulae on it?

Hi Roger and Valery, I check the specimen and I think have a reddish tinge on the scutellum and setulae on it (I think they are visible in the first picture ).

Maybe you can help with this nice Seioptera sp :)
