I've seen this Gymnosoma female in Belgium (5-8-2009).
Parafrontalia not on their total length shiny black, so not nudifrons.
Scutellum only at the tip with a spot of dusting.
Could it be a female of Gymnosoma rotundatum ?

I think it's a female Gymnosoma :D I am not qualified to say much more I think ;)

Thanks Chris ;), so let's wait Theo to know what he think of this female.

I've found those post with pictures which look very similar to mine:

female rotundatum.

The dusting onthorax and scutellum is restricted and the last picture nicely shows it is not nudifrons: the black on the parafrontalia is restricted as well.

Thanks a lot Theo :).
Gymnosoma rotundatum don't seem to be common in Belgium. I think it's the first time I see it in my region (Province de Liège).
