11/08/2011, Klein Schietveld (Brasschaat), Belgium. Could it be some Lydella sp. and is species ID possible? Thanks in advance!     |

Eurithia sp. ... is tergite 5 mainly undusted when looked at from above and behind? Or is it pretty much as dusted as the other tergites? Also, if you can hook-out the genitalia then it would help a lot to see the shape - very distinctive in this genus

Ah, I missed the hairs on the eyes. That's what made me follow the wrong couplet to end up with Lydella. I can see no clear dusting on tergite 5 (see additional picture), so I suppose that makes it E. anthophila? I found it on umbellifers by the way... Thanks a lot for your help!

It does look like E.anthophila ... and they're common on umbellifers at the moment
