An other similar one but this photo was taken in a high altitude: 2000 m.
First photo was taken at 1100 m.

Platystomatidae,
Platystoma sp. maybe
seminationis, :) but having got this wrong a couple of days ago, you should wait for Valery, who knows a BIT about these ;).

Don't think it is
seminationis, either of the two, and I think there are two species here.

I had my doubts too, comparing with the two similar species we have in the Gallery, that's why I said "maybe" (The Get Out Clause B)). Having had 6 hours sleep in the last 40 odd hours I was starting to see spots before my eyes trying to compare the bar-code like wing patterns. Best to leave the species bit to someone like Valery who KNOWS what he's talking about.
Edit...and it does look like two different species.

Indeed, this Platystoma is undeterminable at the moment: the group of species needs a deeeeeeeeeeeeep-deeeeeeeeeeeeeep revision...
