Today, near Paris (France), on Hedera helix I think about L. signatus...can you confirm this ID? Thanks in advance.

Might also be L. brevirostris: proboscis brown (yellow in signatus), central spot on femora only slightly visible (in signatus large spots on femora are clearly dark)

This look like a female signatus to me: colour characteristics and and patterns are quite variable in this genus, but the lack of a visible theca in side view is much more typical of signatus (theca very narrow, crescentric and tends to lie tucked up under abdomen) than any of the other European spp. |
