Hi, I am not even sure about the genus. The aculeus appears quite singular with its harpoon-like shape so maybe it will be possible to identify this female.

Dear Iain, Yes all the tarsi are completely yellow, while the other parts of the legs are completely black (this can be seen better here). Do these features narrow down the list of potential Lonchaea? Best, Christian Edited by Widus on 07-09-2020 16:22 |
