La gradisco ...con quel taglio d'ala direi una Rebelia sp...vediamo che dicono Lucio e Kamil..........

era esattamente quel che pensavo

To determine species, you have to check several things:
1. Presence/absence of epiphysis - small sporn on the foreleg tibia. This is very important now !
2. Forewing scales - but this feature is visible, and scales are narrow like hair.
3. Wing venation - forewing and hind wing. This is visible quite good so please take a look through a loupe to be sure or take better photo of forewing as good as you can and attach here.

What I can say now - this male has only 8 veins from media cell of forewing. So this is not Rebelia because those have 9 veins I suppose Epichnopterix, but I need answer for first point above as it may be something else.

Wing venation and sporns on the leg is very, very good feature and it should be never omited.

When it was catched - night, morning, midday or evening ?

Marco, io te lo dicevo che non era una Rebelia

P.s. grazie a Kamil per le utilissime spiegazioni....
