Hello to all,
Not finding keys for the European Ochtera , here is an observation made yesterday in the Gard in France, along a lake. If someone can go to the species, thank you to specify the criteria visible on these photos.

From what I can see of the abdominal markings, this is
Ochthera manicata (and not
O. mantis nor
O. schembrii). There is another little known species -
O. palearctica - with which I am not familiar. It would require examination of the male genitalia to identify it.
