Taken in Oviedo, N Spain on the 9th September 2011. Venation leads me to Eudasyphora. Can this be Eudasyphora cyanicolor? Anybody knows how to separate E. zimini from this one and cyanella?

Thanks in advance for any help!

I would say Eudasyphora cyanicolor from the deep blue colour.

Here is the key of Eudasyphora from Gregor et. al. :

1. Strong anterodorsal seta on mid tibia almost in middle between strong posteroventral seta and apex of tibia; eyes almost bare..........E. cyanicolor
- Anterodorsal and posteroventral setae on mid tibia nearly in same level ; eyes sparsely to densely haired..........2
2. No accessory setae above strong anterodorsal seta on mid tibia; male frons at narrowest point 1.5-2.0 times broader than anterior ocellus..........E. cyanella
- 1-2 accessory setae above strong anterodorsal seta on mid tibia; male frons at narrowest point at least 3.0 times broader than anterior ocellus..........E. zimini
