not excluded ! S. bicolor varied in body colouration. If the male bears a small ventral hook at the first tarsomere it will be bicolor ;)

Andrzej, I am always looking for the tiny hairs on the scutelleum. So this is not conclusive?
cheers

I have seen that in S. mikii in the north of Scandinavia some specimens have the scutellum sometimes haired (AW in litt.) :-)

really? This is really new to me. Okay, I have no mikii in my collection, but I read in Papp's key that Mikii's scutellum is completely naked.
On the photo it seems that the "birstles" on the costa are really short. According to Laci the costal bristles of mikii are much longer. On purpose I wrote "seems", since it is not that clear.

BTW
the costal bristles are really longer in S. mikii than in S. bicolor !
