Hallo zusammen, unfortunately I only got this single photo from a distance. I was thinking, one of the usual Helina evecta males was sunbathing there on a stone near the forest border (northwest Germany).

Hi Jürgen, it's probably a male Bellardia. Greetings, Eric |

eklans wrote: it's probably a male Bellardia Thank you, Eric. Seems to be not easy. Another user (in my own forum) thinks, it is a Melinda. Myself I tended to Protophormia terraenovae...

The vertex is very narrow, which points to male Bellardia. The calypter seems yellow- brown and not white (but difficult to see), again suggesting Bellardia. Theo |
