A bit strange looking Engelepogon (Acanthopleura)First antennal segments seem yellowish that would make it brunnipes but description doesn't fit. Theodor (1980) mentiones only A. goedli and pallida for Israƫl. Neither description seems to fit completely though. The dark paramedian stripe on thorax fits goedli, but the following does not : Light coloured antennal segments 1&2, and the red patch on the ovipositor, also femora should have broad anterior black stripes...colour variation?
