to Valery: just to identify, I leave the selling/buying to eBay. to Paul: it's very interesting that this specimen is probably a female, the eyes are widely separated and P. kerneggery was suspected earlyer by some authors to be the male of Prosphyracephala succini, a species that has shorter and thicker stalks. P. kerneggeri is however described as a separate species and this specimen might show that the stalk length is longer in females too. I add a frontal picture of the fossil here. I'm making a reconstruction of the wing venation now.
