Hi,

I identify this species as Xylota triangularis, first time I think of observing this species.

You confirm ?

Capture in Charente (France)

Best,
Benoît

I haven't seen X. triangularis myself, but the photos in https://observati...0/photos/? look rather different - e.g., there are no conspicuous yellow spots on the abdomen and the hind tibiae are much paler. Could this male not belong to X. abiens? Among the species with 4 yellow spots it is the one with the darkest hind tibiae, as I read in https://www.flick...477168354/. However, we need experts' opinion!
Regards, Sundew

Sundew,

Indeed, it looks much more like X. abiens!

Thank you very much for this information, I must have been wrong in some criteria...
