This one was collected 3.I.2017 in Santa Albertina, SP, Brazil.
I think it could be an introduced species of Plagiostenopterina.
Any possible ID?

Why not a dark Senopterina?

I have used the key by Whittington (2010, MCAD), and I interpreted R4+5 and M as convergent at apex.

All Senopterina I have seen from Brazil has a straight M, the body color is mettalic dark blue and they don't have wasp mimicry behavior.

In truth, I don't know. Maybe it could be an weird Senopterina. This genus is under revision now (the brazilian species).
