Are your pictures of Polish specimens? Apparently you are right about the situation in Europe being more complicated. I was not aware of that. Is someone working on the taxonomy of this group?


In the pictures are the Polish specimens. I'll try to write some review of Melangyna in Poland in the near future.

Another question on Melangyna.

I have caught a female M. quadrimaculata with a very yellow scutellum. That is not normal, is it now ?

Any suggestions ?

(Intersex is so far the best I've got, unless this is a species complex too !)


Thanks


Theo



Can you post image of the specimen?
