Thank you! You are the best...
So, it's going to be my first specimen of Scotobaenus genus! Is there any possibility to get it down to species level?

i used to know the Central Asian fauna fairly well
[collected there extensively and kept a rich collection]
but it was exactly the kind of experience that taught me extreme caution dealing with anything even slightly unfamiliar -- too many look maddeningly deceptive
