To me this looks like Laphria ephippium

So I also have ephippium in the next photo. And if we talk about the flava group, then these species are determined only by the genitals? prirodnick attached the following image:  [298.79Kb] |

Yes, this one also looks like L. ephippium. I still have to find out how to separate the different species within the L. flava group. Some have visible characters like L. caspica which has very short hair in the middle of the tergites so they seem to be almost bare in the middle.
