I can see it's Oxycera season Smile I collected them during mating in the Alps at 1800 m altitude. I am thinking of Oxycera pseudoamoena. What do you think?

I agree it is either pardalina or pseudoamoena, but the first is much more common.
Both can only be told apart by the genitalia.
I can PM you a scan.

Thank you Theo I have the drawings of the genitalia, but for the moment I do not know how to prepare the very small genitalia so I am waiting.
