Hi Jari,

Could be Palloptera usta (or Toxoneura usta depending on which generic devision you follow). Are there any bristles/hairs on the mesopleura? If so, which colour are those bristles/hairs. For as far as I can see, it looks like the mesopleura are not bare.

Hi, thank You for Your answer. Yes there are black bristles on the mesopleuron (anepisternum). Some longer and heavier and some thinner. All dark anyway.

Okay, that would make it Palloptera usta (Toxoneura usta).
