Hello, In the Montmorency forest (north of Paris): [Click on the picture to get a better resolution, click again to come back.]  Pierre Duhem : France : Saint-Leu-la-Forêt : 95320 : 25/07/2020 Altitude : 190 m - Taille : 7-8 mm Réf. : 266029  Pierre Duhem : France : Saint-Leu-la-Forêt : 95320 : 25/07/2020 Altitude : 190 m - Taille : 7-8 mm Réf. : 266030 I think the genus Miltogramma is correct. Do you agree? In the gallery, there is a Miltogramma cf. punctata which looks very similar. What is your opinion? Pierre Duhem |

The vibrissa is a bit strong and the apical tergites carry spots of recumbant black hairs, so this should be a Pterella. Theo |

Two years ago, I had a very similar specimen on the same spot. Does this ring a bell? Pierre Duhem |

Might very well be, but I sympathize with George Orwell’s view All Miltogramminae are equal, but ... Theo |
