hi,
another from my archive.
first i was thinking to
Otites formosa but don't look exactly (at least to me the mesonothum and head look differently).
photo taken in 6.June.2006 near a small lake.
something can be added?
sorry about the quality,
cosmln
[EDIT]: title changed

Elena Kameneva determined it as
O. "
formosa". ID is certain - but the name is preoccupied and unavailable. She prepares another revision of the genus.

Hi Valery,
thanks for your help, also transmit my gratitude to Elena for the help.
and for now from what i understand it is OK to keep that name.
