Hello NakaRB, This looks more like a Brachypalpus or Criorhina. To correctly identify I'd need to see a more lateral shot. Greetings, Ectemnius |

Hello NakaRB, Not entirely. With my collection at hand I'd say Brachypalpus valgus, male. Seeing that the dusting on my Czech specimen is exactly the same as seen in the photo. Also the hind femora and tibia are the same as my pinned specimen in dorsal vieuw. Greetings, Ectemnius |

Hello NakaRB, Yes, that helps. Criorhina has a face that is extended downwards and slightly forwards. Brachypalpus, like shown in the photo does not have such a face. Greetings, Ectemnius |
