This is a Toxophora fasciculata. Seems to me that the photo has the wrong colours. Seems to have false colours.
Two remarks: there is no longer available the Toxophora maculata (seen in Séguy), it was synonymized to Toxophora fasciculata. Another important thing is the fact that this taxon Toxophora fasciculata has a doubtful status. So far there is another Toxophora known for Europe which is Toxophora fuscipennis, but this was not one by sure. And it has, at least, a doubtful record for France, but confirmed records for North Africa.

There are much more Toxophora in USA.
