Hello, In my opinion it is a female of Epistrophella euchroma (=Epistrophe e.). P.S. : I don't know E. coronata, but it doesn't seem to be present in Switzerland. Regards. Stephane. |

But M. van Veen says that the antennae of E. euchroma are pale. ??? |

there is a great possibility to interpretate pale. the antennae in this specimen are brownish, not black, so one could say the antennae are (rather) pale... |

They are, at least 1st, 2nd and lower part of 3rd are reddish. Yellow spots are slightly oblique, and I can guess there are additionnal little yellow sposts on front corner of T3 and T4 on your 1st photo, moreover legs are very pale. All these features point to Epistrophella. But I can be wrong...  Greetings. Stephane. |

I see - everything exept the small additional spots. But it seems that not all females have them. Thank you all very much for helping! Greetings Maja dipdip attached the following image:  [90.34Kb] |
