Thanks both for your response!

I have to agree with Dysmachus. I used Majer 1997 to key out the genus and there one can't key the specimens out to Heteropogon because the abdomen are broad and flat.

I used Engel 1938 to key out the species. I come to Pycnopogon apiformis. This because of the white hairs on the thorax and abdomen and the darkened crossveins in the wing combined with the open cell M3.

Lehr 1988 list the species for France. Do you guys agree with the identification? Do you know of any recent literature on the genus or its distribution?

Greetings and Thanx again,
