Dear Nikita, Thank you for taking a look at those images. If you click on the composite image, it should get much bigger and details can hopefully be seen better. Anyways, I will upload more images as requested. Regards, Christian |

I tried to click, no result. I can see that radial node setulose. Is it ventral side only or both sides? Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

I can also discard Mydaea nubila which is shorter than 7.7 mm and which also has darkened halteres So it seems it is Mydaea ancilla. The mediotergite indeed appears shiny black and not pruinose (although I could not take a convincing pictures of this structure on my specimen as the wings were hiding it). Supporting criteria include: - scutum with 4 very dark stripes - posterior crossvein oblique - prealar seta about 3/4 of posterior notopleural, although here pra is 85-91% of post nt (based on two measurements from different images) - katepisternals 1 + 2 - fore tibia without posterior seta - hind tibia with 2-3 anterodorsals and 2-3 anteroventrals Widus attached the following image:  [16.24Kb] Edited by Widus on 20-09-2020 11:53 |
