Is the frons completely lustrous ?

Are you asking the meaning of the sentence with the question mark? Propleuron more or less setulose.

---

Well, I'm not sure if there are small bristles or not on the propleuron.

The other big question is if Seguy 1934 keys are still useful for european Tetanocera. The other keys I found are not free download.

And the last question is if genitalia is needed to get a species name.

Or perhaps Tetanocera silvatica as suggested here? https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/137553346

If you read french, I suggest you use Vala 1989, really good book And it cover your area.

For frons, better angle would be from front and a bit upward.
Frons doesn't look shiny to Me, I'd bet on T ferruginea.
You can exclude T hyallipennis anyway, costa is a bit darkned in this species.

Thanks, clovis! I bought Vala 1989, but difficult to use with not other references or pinned specimens. I take note on your suggestion.
