I agree with Paul, Ulidiidae. Nice specimen ... Ceroxys?

Many thanks to both of you !!!
I understood from a previous thread that this family is under re-built !!
Nowadays, is Ulidiidae equal to Otitidae ? Or is there some spring of confusion in there ?
Thanks again !! ;)

Ulidiidae = Otitidae; European scientists use Ulidiidae and American Scientists use Otitidae but I think Ulidiidae is correct according to Kameneva and Korneyev, 2006.
I think it is Dorycera sp.;)

My guess would not be
Ceroxys but perhaps
Dorycera (though I think the status of that genus compared to
Otites is under discussion).

I think it is
Otites nebulosa.

Well, thanks a lot to all of you !! :)
Stephane, I had a look on the web and found
this page !
Could we assume that
Dorycera sp and
Otites nebulosa are somewhat synonyms ?

I guess it would be better to say that some species of
Dorycera resemble some species of
Otites closer than they resemble other species of
Dorycera, at least in some aspects.

Thank you Paul !:)
So, Paul, Stephane [and all of you !! B)] is it
hasardeous to go to Genus level for this particular one ? Or shall I conserve
Otites nebulosa as the true Id (in a moving matter) or at least with a
cf. ?
Thanks in advance !! ;)
