Hi, Stephane Lebrun identified it as Asteia sp but we have no way to go further. Could I have your opinion? HDumas attached the following image:  [128.75Kb] Greetings from Provence |

Looks like Asteia amoena (white line across mouth edge, dark frons, all yellow scutellum, dark thorax) to me, but those spots on the abdomen admittedly look a bit odd. Never underestimate the extent of natural variation, I guess.
