Male Platymyia fimbriata ( don’t hyperventilate, just check the features :) )

Thank you very much! I am calm and collected. But Platymyia is not very simple I think. :)

OK
* no red anywhere
* eye hairy
* thorax with 4 light vittae ( not 5)
* big clue: vein M ( apical crossvein) ends far before wing tip.
* big clue: inner margin of calypter narrowly but intensively darkened.
