Denmark north of Copenhagen, in forest, deciduous and conifers, April 28, 2013.
It was little, -smaller than an average M. lasiopthalma female, - shining and dark. Eyes without visible hairs. Frons shining black, but maybe dustbands. Occiput shining black, not greyish dusted as I normally see M. lasiopthalma females.
Thorax and scutellum alså shining black, many pale hairs. Yellow spots om tergit 2-4.

Is it possible to make ID?.
Is it M. lasiopthalma or barbifrons?

Thanks in advance
Ruth
