Sorry, it is not possible to give you a species det. I have checked it wiith every European species, and can only say that the head is rather similar to personata Collin. This species has a few hairs on the notopleuron in addition to the two strong setae. I think I may be able to see these, but this may be imagination! Leucophora species depend on a lot of small bristle characters as well as examination of the male genitalia. That's why it is difficult to name them from photos. |

Good to see these enlargements. Looks as if it is personata

Thank you Michael! Do you think that I can submit it to the gallery as Leucophora cf. personata? |
