I do not know any Eulechria group looking like that.

OK, but see Sighting No 3769056, it looks very similar to this one and has been placed in Eulechria sp.(genus) at least for now until we may be able to ID it more definitively. Both specimens do not seem to have the spotted antennae characteristic of Garrha spp.

The antennae of this one look spotted to me.
