Hi kuv, and here's the female Puncha ratzeburgi, I think.
The cells above pterostigma are not clearly visible, so I can't be sure unfortunately.

Hi Eric,
here I show a Raphidiidae specimen from the same place from 1st of Juli 2022, where you can see the wing venation a little bit better (I hope ...).

Hi kuv, the English Wikipedia shows Puncha's veination including aberrations (by Naturalis Biodiversity Center):
https://en.wikipe...ratzeburgi

To the best of my knowledge it is a female of Puncha ratzeburgi.
