Not sure if it's female. In many predatory species the female hunts for males instead of the males using their plumose antennae to search for females.

Possibly the male to go with the female photographed on the same date.

Thanks for the hint to Loew - very interesting and definitly it looks like we see female and male of Macropeza albitarsis.
