Hello Eitan,

I was looking at a Spanish Neomochtherus and it reminded me very much of your picture....... i blame myself for not taking more genera into account. Maybe you can compare this photo with pictures or, preferably specimens of Neomochtherus illustris so i changed my opinion. : ) Description in Theodor fits perfectly including the red base of ovipositor (although he descibes it as brown(probably studied a collected one : ))) I hope you can compare and let us know!
