Hi Jann, my suspicion of M. staegeri was based on the visisble difference between your 2 Metopia. But maybe we have a little chance if you look at the original images to find out if the "Tarsomeres of fore tarsus posteriorly with elongated, somewhat curled hairs" (from: A Revision of Oriental and Eastern Palaearctic Species of Metopia, By Thomas Pape, Copenhagen).
