After some discussion and aft
After some discussion and after looking at lots of pictures, I think, on the dorsum, the thin pale central stripe and pair of pale stripes which broaden at the posterior part ( not of even thickness throughout their length )are significant and make me think this is Parhelophilus rex. This is what Denis had suggested in the beginning.
I have sent it to Dr. Martin Hauser for his opinion.
