Is it possible to ID this Linnaemya a bit further?

Alas, it is not a Linnaemyia, but a Phebellia. The balck palpus and golden frons clearly indicate Ph. nigripalpis.
Nomenclatoral note: over the last decades, the genus was named Prooppia. Unfortunately, the type species was incorrectly assessed acording to DNA analysis, which forced a change of names:
Prooppia (old) -> Phebellia (new)
Phebellia (old). ->. Melibaea (new)

My apologies for this mess.

Dear Theo,
Many thanks!
No apologies needed, the mess was clarified.
I was completely wrong with the determination.
All the best, Sandra
Kind regards,

These Phebellia s.l. do resemble Eurithia or Linnaemyia superficially.
I’d rather preserved the interetation of Phebellia, but this was simply not possible. So beware that Phebellia s.s. means something different than 5 weeks ago !
