Hello! This one rested among several equal sized (12 mm) Polietes at a pile in our garden (northwest Germany). So I did not notice that it is likely no Polietes until I saw the photos. But what is it? Phaonia male? 1200x1200 picture: http://www.foto-u...2mm_M2.jpg Edit: I hope, it's not P. tuguriorum again...  . Would have been rather big for it.

It could be Phaonia scutellata this time, because the fronto-orbital plates are contiguous. But without a good shot of the head (profile), I don't want to guarantee anything.

Hello, Stephane! Stephane Lebrun wrote: It could be Phaonia scutellata Just one additional question: is Phaonia scutellata a synonym of another species? I can't find it in the german checklist.
