As far as I can tell this seems to be Erycia. If thats the case I don't think the genus is registered from Norway.
I think it should be either E. fatua or E. festinans.

I have three specimens two females and one male which I belive are the same, not from the same day, but all in July. Two from the same location and one from a location very close by.


This one is from South Norway 17th July 2022

Thank you, Theo, I'm not sure about much with this one Grin

So if I key it as hairy eyes (it has some scattered hairs, which is rather short)

I feel it don't match anything very well...

So from what I read of the key Clemelis should not have very upright apical scutellars.

Yes, as far as I can tell, it agrees with female Erycia fasciata. this would be a surprise from Norway.
