A Tolmerus sp. photographied last week near Paris (France)...
On Insecte.org, the identification is "possible strandi".
What do you think about that ?
Thank you.
Pierre

strandi is very rare and atricapillus is very common. Without seeing the genitalia properly of the male nothing can be said about these. Colouration of legs and other features are very similar between named species.
