Moscow region, 09 sept.
I collected it to be sure in image ID.
But my key don't give absolutely clear answer. I think it is S. fenestralis, but it may be also S. cincta. Is it possible to be sure?

I think this great shot should be labelled Sylvicola sp. ;)
There may be ways of telling the females apart using spermatheca and ovipositor characters, but I don't know what they are.

It's a pity.
Thank you Tony.
