Hi,

after searching the gallery I guess this is a Physocephala sp.? Can we get any closer than that?

According to the key (http://home.hccne...phala.html) it should be P. nigra or P. rufipes; I tend to the latter. However, the decisive characters (face, colour of trochanter) are not well seen. :|

Yes, I know... it was gone before I could take more pictures.
I'll file it under Physocephala cf. rufipes then :)

Thanks a lot
