Hi !
Have you a picture of the face ?
with this picture we can say that is not
E. tenax,
E. intricaria,
E. lineata,
E. pertinax,
E. interrupta.
It could be
E. abusiva,
E. similis or
E. arbustorum.
For me it's a femalle of
E. arbustorum but i need a picture of the face to confirmate. ;)

Hi Pierre-Yves!
I haven’t any pictures of the face. In the same plant was other males of
E. arbustorum.
Thank you for help.
