 This female Thereva from an inland sandy site, S England. Can it be identified to species?

Many thanks
Tristan

 Given habitat and date (is it recent ?), I'd guess it is either strigata or plebeja.

Those two are very similar.

 Many thanks Theo - yes it is very recent (12/05/10).

In UK strigata seems to be exceedingly rare so plebeja must be the most likely candidate.

Best wishes
Tristan

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.

I would prefer not to receive any more messages from diptera.info signed by Paul... (Thread reply notification)... Could they be signed by ‘The diptera.info team’?
