With this key https://www.robbe...linae.html, I think it is Tolmerus atripes but my colleague thinks it is Didysmachus picipes like this one https://www.galer...ref=222857.

We have problem with the question of cerci. Can you help us ? Thank you !

Hi,

Check Didysmachus picipes female, the ovipositor is quite remarkable with the tuft of hair on the anteroventral part of the oviposior.

Best, Jonne
