Piani di Praglia, Genova, Italy -

May you identify the species or at least the genus?

Thank you.

This would be a male of a Choerades species and, taking into account the the yellow hair on the anepisternum, probably C. fimbriata. I'm open to other suggestions. Another picture might be helpfull in which we could see the ratio of the antennal segments.
