Thank You! I'm trying to rear it, we'll se if it's another species.

My reason for suggesting
Pachygaster atra is that only
Pachygaster s.s. has such broad, flattened bristles. I don't think
P.kerteszi has been confirmed as a Hungarian species yet, even if the data-less types were found in Budapest museum, so I'm backing
P.atra. Hopefully Walter will have success rearing it, and we will discover whether I'm right!:)
