Hi Sandra, I think it's the male Metopia tshernovae:
From:
A Revision of Oriental and Eastern Palaearctic Species of Metopia
By Thomas Pape, Copenhagen

- Fronto-orbital plates almost adjoining anteriorly, frontal vitta very narrow but distinct from lunula
- Distribution: Widely distributed in the Palaearctic region. Not in the British Isles.

Greetings, Eric Kloeckner

I agree with Eric it keyes out to tshernovae. I have many Metopia in my Malaisetrap. Some are obvious tshernovae or argyrocephala, for others, I'd like to doublecheck the genitalia. In cae of "Metopia argyrocephala abb. pseudotshernovae". This would be such a case (to check)
