Hello!

This 5-6 mm wasp wasp running around quickly (therefore I only have this bad picture) at a beech trunk at the forest yesterday (northwest Germany). It was bigger and more slender than the species of the genus Gelis I know, yet. Is it possible to say what it is?

I have found a better pic of apparently the same species on the net. But unfortunately also without ID:

I only saw smaller (1.5-4 mm) Gelis species here. They are rather abundant.

I also do know nearly nothing about them Frown. I have no literature, and mostly I'm happy, when I find out the genus name(s)...

That looks convincing. Thanks!


Edit: Occurs in "Entomofauna germanica" as Aptesis nigrocincta. Also more Google hits with that name.
