I found this one in beech and oak wood near nests of Andrena (sp. and clarkella). Could it be a female of Leucophora obtusa ? Christine Devillers attached the following image:  [178.4Kb] Edited by Christine Devillers on 14-02-2010 15:28 |

I think L.obtusa is right. (on photo 2 we see an ad on t2, on photo 3 we see vague 2 posterior setae, prealar long , scutellum with several hairs on lateral margins, eyes approximated and antenna seems almost bare) Joke |

Always a bit difficult with Leucophora, but i don't see numerous setaea on hindfemur beneath and distance between eye margins are equal to the broad of the posterior sice of ocelli.......so must be a female. Joke |
