Hi, I think it's a Peleteria - P. meridionalis?

There are 3 species of this genus in Turkey. Peleteria abdominalis, P. rubescens and P. iavana. After your comment, I examined these species a little. However, I was still not sure.

According to the Central European key, the second segment of the antenna of
Peleteria rubescens is black.

Yes you are right. The closest species seems to me to be P. iavana but I'm not sure. If P. meridionalis is correct, a new record for Turkey. That's why I wanted to go over the species.

P. iavana appears later in the year - you should edit the thread's title and add "Peleteria meridionalis?".

This might be iavana, it is not meridionalis , parafacial is too narrow.
Pity we can't see the palp.

I can't examine under the microscope yet. I've added another image in case it helps. If I examine it with a microscope in the future, I will upload images again.
