Hi, it's most probably a male Nyctia lugubris - although slightly darkened, indeed. But the petiole at cell r4+5 seems to be typical for lugubris.

EDIT:
It seems to be N. halterata, too (I overlooked it in thread_id=97940):
I've tried to find more info about lugubris and found this discussion:
https://www.insec...hp?t=87186
Christoophe says "Nyctia haltera n'a habituellement pas la R5 pétiolée sauf une population méditerranéenne."
(Nyctia haltera usually does not have the petiolate R5 except for a Mediterranean population.)

Greetings, Eric
