No, Macronemurus has an abdomen longer than the wings and with long cerci.

I think that it's a Myrmeleon.

it is not true... Macronemurus appendiculatus doesn?t have an abdomen longer than the wings and doesn?t have long cerci.

Thank you both for your help.

According to the Agostino, expert on neuropters, this is very probably a female of Creoleon lugdunensis. At least, it is Creoleon sp. Smile

Therefore it is Myrmeleontidae > Creoleon lugdunensis
