Hi,
Center of France (Loiret) on 27th june 2022.
With 2+3 dc, 2+3 ac and 3 ia, dark callipters,
Bellardia is correct ?
Discal setae on tergit 4, may be
B. varium ?
Thanks for help.

Hello Eugéne,
Bellardia is correct, but I think it's not the female
B. viarum which should have longer discals on T4. So
pandia and
vulgaris are possible candidates, too. Do you have a photo showing the pv-bristles on fore tibia (2:
B. pandia)?

I have no good picture of fore tibia. The best one don't show any pv bristles on fore tibia :

Okay, that makes it difficult to guess the number of bristles. Seems, we should stay with female
Bellardia sp.
