Hi, What do you think about this specimen caught in Camargue? (among some specimen of H bigoti) My hesitation is between ocelligera and subcylindrica  Clovis : France : Arles : 13200 : 17/5/2014 Altitude : 1 m - Taille : 10 mm Réf. : 120842  Clovis : France : Arles : 13200 : 17/5/2014 Altitude : 1 m - Taille : 10 mm Réf. : 120843  Clovis : France : Arles : 13200 : 17/5/2014 Altitude : 1 m - Taille : 10 mm Réf. : 120844  |

female pluvialis group for sure (in which your 2 hypothesis reside...at least in 1972 ) |

Doesn't have clear spots on tergites, therefore, does not look like ocelligera (there is a reason for this name !). Are you sure it is not bigoti ? Femur 2 looks pinkish, but very out of focus. Theo |

The third antennal segment will show orange on the inner side, the picture is simply dark and showing the other side. Clovis can check this. Theo |

Well, i'm getting a bit careful on the name of species! (look at Rhagio vitripennis) I'm not sure it's bigoti, as i don't have any specimen (Christoophe collected some specimens with me that turned out to be bigoti, i only caught this one) But fémur 2 is as grey as the other femurs, and there is indeed some orange marking on antennal segment 3.

OK, thanks. If femur 2 is totally grey, also on the back side, than it cannot be bigoti. So it is either a no-greenish pluvialis (those exist, esp. in Eastern Europe) or subcylindrica. The first antennal segment does not support the latter view. Theo |

Yep, also on dorsal side. So your vote is on pluvialis? (you wan't picture of something to support this opinion?) Well, i wasn't lucky to catch the common one when Christoophe caught bigoti! |

I think pluvialis is at this point the most likely. Theo |
