Thank-you Dominik! That does look like a good match. I too am not sure about species, maybe we should leave at genus for now.

Mimallonidae, looks like being a Cicinnus sp., cloest guess would be Cicinnus manalca, but I am not sure! Please, verify! http://www.boldsystems.org/index.php/Taxbrowser_Taxonpage?taxon=Cicinnus%20manalca http://www.papillon-poitou-charentes.org/spip.php?page=document&id_document=7682
