Hello,

maybe you can help me to ID this Rhagio sp.

29.05.2014 - North Italy - 800m

farm6.staticflickr.com/5580/14868978059_788f7f6569_z.jpg

I can't see if the pterostigma is entirely dark or yellow and dark. I would say dark ..

Thanks for the help!

Regards,
Marcello

Did you collect it? Just this picture? For the first impression, maybe Rh. annulatus. I will check my collection and literature on Thursday in my museum office.

Sorry, I captured it and then I released it ... btw, I was thinking too at R. annulatus, but:

I don't see the abdomen largely whitish haired. I'm wrong?

In another shot, I can see better the pterostigma, it's transparent/yellow, but I have photos all from the same position.

Thanks for your help!

For me this is male R. tringarius

So, I am in my office with the collection. Valerio is right, it is really R. tringarius. I was confused by much darker color than the Czech specimens have.

Thanks both for the help :)

@Libor: do you collect Rhagionidae?

@Valerio: grazie ;)
