I've been wrestling with this for a couple of days now. Looks like a Mydaea, but keys like a Phaonia. Or possibly something in the Azelini (It has crossed frontal bristles). Or ... !!! No doubt I'm misinterpreting something or making a stupid assumption. All help much appreciated!

It's a female Thricops. You forgot to mention the location... If it is from Europa, my guess would be T. albibasalis. Stephane. |

Thanks, Stephane No idea how I managed to skip hind coxae! After that everything falls into place. Pretty close to albibasalis. I think its sudeticus, with dusted prementum and black palps. Arista also pubescent only. Not entirely happy with the prealar:notopleural2 ratio but with the other characters I think the apparently more common (Scotland) sudeticus is a better candidate. Ill post some more pics to the thread later. Thanks again Ali |

Thanks for the feedback. It seems the frons has interfrontals on the firsts picture, that supports T. sudeticus too. 
Stephane. |
