Hello,

it's a Laphriinae-species, this is sure. It is very difficult to distinguish Choerades and Andrenosoma in this dorsal view. To me there seems to be some reddish colour on the abdomen shining through the darkened wings. It may then be Choerades gilva or Andrenosoma albibarbe. But maybe I'm wrong with the reddish colour and the abdomen is completely dark, then it would be A. atra indeed. Too many ifs ...

Greeting, Danny Wolff
