Thank you for the hint, that is very helpful! Using this key: https://diptera.i...Europe.pdf I think it could be Neurigona quadrifasciata. (Key on p. 102) 1 -> no hypopygium = female -> 6 6 -> mesonotum is yellow (not dark) -> 7 7 -> mesonotum is matt -> 8 8 -> abdominal tergites with black transverse bands -> N. quadrifasciata Though I noticed that N. cilipes is not in the key. I can't find any information / picture from that species. Do you know whether it could be N. cilipes? |

I just found another source which has all the five species occuring in Germany. https://zmmu.msu....20Inet.pdf and from that I conclude that it must be N. quadrifasciata. N. cilipes has a dark mesonotum. Edited by AdrianBothe on 26-02-2022 12:34 |
