No, Macronemurus has an abdomen longer than the wings and with long cerci.

I think that it's a Myrmeleon.

it is not true... Macronemurus appendiculatus doesn?t have an abdomen longer than the wings and doesn?t have long cerci.

I mean: the female doesn?t have long abdomen for M. appendiculatus

Thank you both for your help.

It seems that we are only going to get a family-level ID.:(

According to the Agostino, expert on neuropters, this is very probably a female of Creoleon lugdunensis. At least, it is Creoleon sp. :)

Therefore it is Myrmeleontidae > Creoleon lugdunensis
