Hello,

I found this 5 mm female on a meadow with Leucanthemum vulgare near a forest (northwest Germany).

But the genus is correct?

Hi,

The genus is correct, subgenus is Pandasyopthlamus, there are multiple species of which only the males are distinguishable for certain by examining the genitalia (haemorrhous, tibialis, constrictus).

For females it ends at Paragus.

Best,
Jonne
