I'm afraid I am stuck with this one.
To my knowledge, only acutangula, deceptoria, atramentaria and umbratica are listed to be present in France. I tried using
this key to sort things out, but with no luck.
I would discard acutangula because wing cell r4+5 is not with a short petiole.
I first discarded deceptoria because tergites 1+2 to 4 usually were not with a clear yellow posterior margin and more and less red lateraly.
I would also discard atramentaria because the body is not entirely black.
We also noticed that this specimen has crossed post-ocellar setae, do you think this can help in any way?
Otherwise, I will stay at Stevenia sp.
Thank for your help!
PS: there is also two species synonyms of Stevenia listed in France:
Paykullia insularis and
partenopea
