Hello,

I have no idea. It is the only photo I have from this species.

Location: Germany, Rhineland-Palatinum, 53572 Unkel, river Rhine valley, Stux hill, dry and warm habitat (grapeyards), near wood, August 22nd. 2024.

Thanks in advance,

Michael

Hard to be sure with that single photo - but I think it's a male Hemyda obscuripennis.

Yes, really, it looks like Hemyda obscuripennis - but thats not for sure, I understand.

Thank you, Eric, for your answer,

Michael
