Hi,

doesn't look to me like a Dysmachus. In Dysmachus the last tergites are incorporated in the ovipositor and not free as in the depicted specimen. Furthermore the dorsocentrals an the mesonotum usually reach further to the front. Here they are restricted the back part of the mesonotum.

Why not a specimen of the very species-rich Machimus-group?

Greetings, Danny Wolff
