Thanks again Saeed. In Fauna Europaea there is only one species listed, E. megacephala. Do you think that it could be this one?

Actinoptera meigeni Hendel

Rui: Please submit your pictures to the gallery, it is quite an endemic species from W Mediterranean Region.

Saeed: Actinoptera is a mostly Afrotropical genus that can be easily recognized from its very short pterostigma and, in addition, by the combination of 3 fr, 1 or and 1 pair of sctl.
