Hi, is it possible that this could be Argyra magnicornis ? I believe setimana should have longer arista and silvery white pollination on mesonotum and abdomen. The hairs underside of mid femur should be longer too. July 13. 2007 Helsinki, Finland.

If the scutellum is hairy, and mesonotum without hairs in addition to setae, then magnicornis would be better.

8. Mesonotum and abdomen without silvery white pollination; antennal stylus
shorter than antennomeres combined; frons greyish-white; face white; 6.0-
7.0.................magnicornis (Zetterstedt)
– Mesonotum and abdomen metallic green, densely silvery white pollinose; antennal
stylus longer than antennomeres combined; frons and face silverywhite;
femora mostly yellow; 6.0-7.0.................................... setimana Loew
