Thank you! I had thought that too but I know these are tricky. :D
No, actually I had thought
Sepsis fulgens which shows they are even more tricky than I thought! ;)

Care to explain why it might be
punctum?

Sorry, fulgens was what I thought, but I changed the names. I thought about this species because I didn't see any long hairs on the sides of t2. I added cf. for saying I wasn't sure. Greetings, Niels

My thoughts of it being Sepsis fulgens were correct? Can this be said for sure?
There's only one pic in the gallery so if sure I can add a couple of pics. Male or female? I find it difficult to tell with these.

No certainty, but reasonable probability, I think.

Lol, that's a double uncertainty, or is it a double near certainty? I don't want to put 'maybes' in the gallery so will edit the title with a cf. then anyone searching the site should find it anyway. B)
