What genus is this and is species possible to tell?

Photos from 23 august 2008 at Grötom, Norasundet 62,57N 17,36O Ångermanland, Sweden.

Thanks for your help in advance

Regards

Hi Kurt,

this is somewhat difficult to say. Your picture is not quite sharp, so some details are not good to see. It may be a male Rhadiurgus variabilis (if the dark spot beneath the antennae is shining) or a Tolmerus (if the spot isn't shining, but only wet by a drew drop or something else or only caused by shade).

Greetings, Danny Wolff
