Well, it seems like a species of Villa to me, but I'm sure David can tell you more when he's online!
greetings,

a very nice photo of a male
Villa of the
hottentotta-
panisca group. i suspect it might be
modesta but would need the specimen to be sure (and even then might not be).

Hi David,
thanks a lot for your help. I am sorry, i have only this foto and no specimen for the exact determination. Perhaps some informations about the location can help.
Hohtenn is a very hot place in the Canton Wallis on the southern side of the alps.
Best regards
Urs
