A Stenopogon (related with junceus group). No dorsal view?

Thank you for your comment. There is a dorsal view.

Thanks for the new picture! :) It seems to have a closed m3 cell. Very interesting ;) However, I cannot find any Stenopogon species recorded for Crimea and the ones in surrounding areas simply don't fit. Probably my brain is melting with the heat ;)

Wait for Reinoud. He will see this sooner or later...

Not much to add to Piluca's remark... except that S. junceus and S. elongatus are known from Asia minor and SE-Europe. The closed cell M3 would point at S. elongatus

Btw, I cited Lehr '88 and Engel '30 for distribution. I am not sure of ID.
