Hello,
can everybody (I don't know why, I'm thinking about Tony especially ) confirm this Ochthera.
I have provisionally IDed it as Ochthera schembrii on our french forum, but since I only have the Italian fauna I need some confirmation.

Date : December 12, 2007
Location : Villelaure (South of France - 84)

Yes, this is Ochthera schembrii. In the other French species of Ochthera, the large spur on the front tibia is shorter. The upper photo is of a male.
