I considered the Tschorsnig key and accordingly made some new photos.

- Outer verticals at least half the length of inner; long 3rd antennal segment and white hairs at the back of the head lead me to genus Wagneria.

- Costal spine present and lack of discal bristles on tergites + hollowed tergite 2 (see arrows) results in W. cunctans.

Is the conclusion plausible?
