 Hello,
Is it possible to identify this Platystomatid to genus?

 It looks to be a Peltacanthina, but I have neither good key, nor reference collection of the Afrotropical species

 Andrew Whittington dixit:
"This is definitely Peltacanthina (subgenus Peltacanthina). I've been working on a key to this genus, but it's a complex job to be sure. The closest that I can come is that this is near P. (P.) mythodes Hendel, 1914, although this is a southern African species and does not completely concur.

Thanks to all.
Greetings from Provence
