Good morning !!!
very interesting insect. It belongs to genus Eptacus, to my opinion. Probably E. arachnoides Stierlin.

Thank you very much for the information and the link.

But you mean Eptacus arachniformis (Reitter, 1908) which is the one present in Petra?


I add pictures, 3 of them from another ex taken in the same place.

There are 2 conflicting features in the specimens here, in relation to J. Pelletier's key: Clearly prominent eyes and relatively longitudinal antennal segments 3-6.
You may be right, because of the locality of the capture, being Eptacus arachniformis.
There is also a specimen in the French Forum, which was captured about 20 km north from yours. In this specimen, the name Eptacus arachniformis fits better.
