I am not having any success keying this one out. It has a distinctly yellow-orange scutellum. Size 9mm. Taken from the woodland edge of a sand quarry 21 May. I did key it to Zenillia, but I don't think that's right? conopid attached the following image:  [99.54Kb] Edited by conopid on 24-05-2010 08:59 Nigel Jones, Shrewsbury, United Kingdom |

Zenillia doesn't have reddish femora. Should be Phryno vetula. (apical scutellar bristles missing or weak) Theo |

Many thanks Theo. Yes the red femora was why I doubted Zenillia. I'll try Phryno - new one to me.
