Totally right ! P. iavana (= varia), which concurred large parts of Belgium and the Netherlands last year. Theo Edited by Zeegers on 16-08-2020 14:30 |

Hello Eric and Theo, many thanks for your answers and determination of the species. Is this species rare and where can I find a description, for example something about its distribution and time of appearance ? Greetings Volker |
