This therevid was seen moving a little bit like a wasp in Porto, Portugal in a mountainous area. What is it? date: 08/06/2011 Rui Andrade attached the following image:  [46.52Kb] |

Any idea to what genus it belongs to? |

Wondering whether it might be a female Salentia. Compare HERE for what probably is a male.

Thanks Paul. All the Salentia I’ve been finding were on dunes so I was wondering if this is another genus. Below I attached a photo of the habitat, much more inland.

Unfortunately, the palaearctic key to genera relies on male genitalia quite often so it is a kind of cumbersome to try and identify this female from picture.
