Three days ago, only a single specimen could be found of this apparently nocturnal species from SE Turkey. Its ID very much appreciated. Muhabbet

Pyrgotidae? They are nocturnal parasitoids of Scarabeidae. Many species, including all American species, lack ocelli.

Looks to be a
Eupyrgota, quite possibly
E. wagai.
Muhabbet, could you please take a picture of the head in strictly in profile and the mesonotum from the above? Thank you!
