An other Molophilus ?
Thank you,
Guénael.

It might well be obscurus, although some important details of hypopygium are not clearly visible (well-developed dorsomesal projections of gonocoxites present or not; shape of dorsolateral projections) since the view is too oblique lateral

Okay, thanks Dmitry.
Unfortunately I lost this individual due to a manipulation error.
Cordially.
Guénael.
