2nd version :
I added the ♂ of the species and simplified the determination of Genus.
======================================================
n° 4548 ♂ : Capture in Cne St-Prix (Dépt. Saône et Loire) on 09 IX 2008
..... Lg. 19.3 mm
n° 2598 ♀ : Capture in Cne Le-Larderet (Dépt. Jura) on 18 VI 1993
..... Lg. about 18 mm
----
I was not able to make more photos being given the mediocre quality of my equipment

Characteristics of Wings : drawings in download/file.php?id=158254
----
♂ & ♀ have the same Habitus, except the Face.
------
Determination of sub-Family of ♀.
* Characteristics of our capture :

Forewing with 1 Bulla
Inner Eye margins convergent ventrad
Spiracles of Tergite 1 > ½ length of Tergite 1
Abdomen compressed
The Areolet of the rignt Forewing not open on the left
Propodeum reticulately wrinkled
Discoidella present

These characteristics allow to identify the sub-Family by using :
viewtopic.php?f=104&t=53609&hilit=+Adaptation
Then viewtopic.php?f=104&t=53530&hilit=+Adaptation
So the sub-Family is Anomaloninae

Determination of sub-Family of ♂.
* Characteristics of our capture :
In the 1st quoted key, we go in sequence from 1 to 8, then we find easily the sub-Family Anomaloninae with 2nd key.

Determination of Genus :
[see viewtopic.php?f=104&t=57717&hilit=+anomaloninae ]
* Characteristics of our captures :

dg > gk
Clypeus without median apical tooth
Hind Tarsal Claws evenly curved (without a large lobe)

So the Genus is Therion

Determination of species :
[see http://www.zobodat.at/pdf/KON_10_0003-0014.pdf ]
in this pdf Exochilum = Therion
* Characteristics of our captures :

The hind-Tarsi not very thickened

So the sp. circumflexum

circumflexum was captured in Italy
