Thanks bayucca. I see what you mean by the variability, but I'm not sure what else it could be. I've updated unless someone provides a more accurate ID, I'm okay with this.

In my eyes there is only one possibility, however, some of the markings are different. But if you look at pictures of Doleschallia bisaltide, then you also see a great variability. Please, check them yourself.
Does anybody have a better IDea???
