 Hi,

is it this genus? Maybe E. melanostoma?
Thank you for help.

 Hm, I don't agree: Epistrophe grossulariae has entirely black antennae. To me this looks most like E. melanostoma: antennae yellow, scutellum with yellow hairs, hind tarsus yellow, shape of black markings on frons.

 Hi Menno,

Thank you for your answer and information. It seems to be a difficult species.
