I'd go with Hebecnema too. It seems that halters knobs are black, therefore I'd say Hebecnema nigra (and only 1 av on t3 ?).

Stephane.

Hi Stephane.

Thanks for your help.
I am very new in this business. Is it possible to explain, what 1 av on t3 is? I know t3 is tergit 3 and av means anteroventral.
I have manipulated the contrast on the last picture. Does it help?
Kindly regard
Ruth
