One of my latest finds from Bukk mountains, near a lake, about 7 mm long. My first Pallopterid that I manages to catch (if it is really a Pallopterid).

Thank You! I'll provide more photos, maybe it can be ID-d to sp.

To ID it to species level, you should study the genitalia. The apical filament of the aedeagus is bifid in P. anderssoni.
