We're in the Phaoniinae. Either a Phaonia which has lost it's postero-dorsal on hind tibia, or one of these few Helina with densely haired eyes, 4 post dc, black legs and well separated parafrontaliae (H. obscuratoides, H. subvitata, , H. veterana e.g.). Is the abdomen spotted like Helina ? A dorsal view maybe ?
I don't think about the common Helina evecta or H. annosa, the frons seems to broad...
