Dear all,
Here are photographs of a Myopites photographed on flowering Inula (= Limbarda) crithmoides, August 14th, 2024.
Based on blackish sides on pronotum, dark markings on abdomen, dark wing markings pattern and the plant it was sit on, I assume it is Myopites longirostris, although this taxon seems to be unrecorded in Mediterranean France (perhaps because nobody look for them?).
Is it possible to rule out M. eximia and confirm ID?
Many thanks!
Marc
