Hi all,
I pictured this specimen in my garden on 2024-04-13 in Belgium and could measure it : 9,25mm. It's a female.
On a french forum I found a similar habitus identified here by Theo Zeegers.

But is it the same species ???

Is it possible to ID ???
Thank you !!!

The sharp bend in vein M excludes tribe Blondeliini, to which Vibrissina belongs. It appears to have a strong first post-sutural supra alar bristle, ruling out tribe Exoristini with similar wing veins. If it has four post-sutural supra alar bristles then the Lypha group is a possibility.

I'd it is a candidate Paratryphera, but impossible to be sure from this angle.
Definitely not Vibrissina nor any other Blondeliini, as pointed out by John.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
