Thanks bayucca for the help, so should I temporarily change it Ophocrania sp for the SN?
bayucca
To be more precise: Ophocrania sp., adult male.
bayucca
Ophicrania sp. is confirmed by Bruno Kneubühler. But it might be another species than viridinervis. So, I suggest we go either with Ophicrania sp. or Ophocrania cf. viridinervis.

Let's see what our expert means...
bayucca
Phasmatidae, Platycraninae, Platycranini, and Ophicrania viridinervis as closest guess. http://www.phasmatodea.com/de/web/guest/photos;jsessionid=210C0C41A3D423D5296C329AA74618FC?p_p_id=phasmatodeaimagegallery_WAR_phasmatodeade5231_INSTANCE_U96i&p_p_lifecycle=0&p_p_state=normal&p_p_mode=view&p_p_col_id=column-1&p_p_col_count=1&categoryId=988
