Hi all,
I don't think i'm far from the truth...
Can anyone confirm or not ?

Taken in south of France, around Sainte-Victoire's mountain, on 9 june 05.

Possibly G. nudifrons (?) again, a very tentative suggestion.

Gymnosoma are quite difficult to identify
(or, I should say: very very difficult)
buth this looks to me as a quite typical G. rotundatum.
Features in the female:
scutellum with dust spot at apex
hind part of thorax without clear light dusting
black on parafrontalia not reaching to base of antenna
but stopping at about 1/2 - 2/3
