It's a male of Elomyia lateralis. Look in the first pic what happens with the apical crosvein, when approaching the wing margin: it turns back ! (I admit, difficult to see if you haven't seen it before) Theo |

Eeek - I see what you mean, I saw the vein but I thought it was a trick of the angle  The faint wing colour is similar to female Ectophasia, which confused me. I can see, I need a bigger palaearctic collection!  Is this species rare in mainland Europe? |

It's a Mediterrean species, not so common. Theo |
