I appreciate all information about this species, thank you very much.

Yes, it has 2 ad mid tibia.

I attach you a sketch of the scutum, is it correct?

I have never extracted the ovipositor but I have tried it with another identical specimen:

How could I find the key of Dr. Rognes? I would like to have it.

Thank you very much for your patience.

abdomen with a dark median stripe widening posteriorly
eye in profile much higher than gena

outer ph setae are used by Dr. Rognes.
furthermore, i believe that i see two ad mid tibia. is this correct?

without viewing the ovipositor, i cannot suggest a species.
i will attach a photo of mine depicting the ovipositor of P. rudis for reference
