 Is it possible to tell which genus this 3-4 mm female is?
Bad picture but perhaps pattern on tergites perhaps can tell something?

Photos from 21 july 2012 Icktjärn 62 N, E 17 Ångermanland, Sweden.

Thanks for your help in advance

Regards

 Yes, certainly a Metopia. To me it looks like a male Metopia campestris.

I have just received the very sad news that Peter Chandler has died after a fall at home yesterday. I have no other details at the moment. We shall miss him terribly.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
