Certainly Thecophora - a good chance that it's T. atra

Hi, just copying these 2 lines out of the Van Veen Key 6.a. Femur 3 yellowish on its basal twothirds, femur 1 and 2 brownish, turning yellowish at their inner side; thoracic dorsum with two well marked lines of grey dust, with a clear undusted black line between them. 7-8 mm. -> Thecophora fulvipes Robineau-Desvoidy 6.b. Femur 3 yellowish on its basal half, femur 1 and 2 brown to black, not turning yellow at their innerside (at most black parts turning brown); thoracic dorsum with two badly marked grey lines of dust, not leaving a sharp black line between them. 5-7 mm. -> Thecophora atra Fabricius according to this key, it should be Thecophora fulvipes rather than T. atra |
