Hi, Here is an Odontomyia from Bulgaria i caught last year. I have hard time to tell if this is O hydroleon or argentata (or maybe an other one) What is you opinion?   Markovo (Center of Bulgaria) 200m hight, 10mm, in a dried field, with a canalized river not far. Edited by clovis on 04-12-2014 16:57 |

Hello clovis, It does indeed look like a Odontomyia but it is a Lasiopa sp. Very difficult to ID I seem to remember. B.t.w. 'Witch' means: a person who practices witchcraft or an ugly or unpleasant woman...  Greetings, Ectemnius |

Hum, your right, my mistake, it is a male^^ (i meant "which" as you guessed) Lasiopa, i didn't even know that genus! But that explain quite well why it doesn't have any "spikes" on scutellum...

By the way, would you have a key of that genus? I have the specimen in hand? |
