With those bands of golden hairs, this looks like Choreades species.

Hello, now I can see the image. It's certainly a Choerades specimen. The genus is quite difficult, even if you have a specimen, which you can investigate with a stereo-mikroskop. Because of the quite greyish (instead of yellowish) dusting and hairs on the side of the thorax and because of the abdominal hair pattern I think it more likely that this is a specimen of the marginata-group. If you have details of the thorax and the head it may be possible to say more. Greetings, Danny Wolff |

Hello Amalia, yes, thanks. This is a female of the Choerades marginata - group, most probably Ch. marginata. Greetings, Danny |
