Hi, it's a male P. subventa, abdomen often with a dark mid stripe.

Hi Eric,

thank you for the identification and additional information! I already couldn't find a Phaonia with a dark mid stripe, but that's then because only males have it (and not always). Next time I should be able to recognize it now Smile

Kind regards,
