Rhagionidae_Rhagio scolopaceus(female) is the correct name? Region Malá Fatra Terchová about 750 m altitude. Thank you very much for your help. I made a photo of 04.07. 2012.

I am having second thoughts. Clearly not scolopaceus, but the vertex seems too broad for female strigosus.
COuld this be the female of latipennis ?

Not strigosus. Female of this species has unicolorous brown thorax. So, Rhagio scolopaceus without any doubts.

How interesting - this species is not mentioned in van Veen's key I use (
http://home.hccne...hagio.html). I have to keep it in mind, as it is said to occur also in Germany!

Well, I don't expect them to occur in the lowlands.
The males are easy, they have dichoptic (separated) eyes. PIctures available on this forum.

R. latipennis was included into Red List of Invertebrates of the Czech Rep. and K. Spitzer wrote it is an indicating species of beech forest. I do not know, what happened since 2005 (year of Red List publication), but in S and W Bohemia it is a common species of all types of forests as well as larger shrubs. It requires dense underbrush, as Sambucus, Lonicera, or Rubus.
