Hello NakaRB,

Nice that you uploaded the lateral vieuw. Two species of Xylota with tergite 2 and 3 with orange bands and metatars 3 black. X. segnis has long spines on the underside of the hind femur and short stout black bristles on the underside of the hind tibia. X. tarda misses these spines, as shown in the photo. Also the orange bands are of a darker hue. Conclusion: male Xylota tarda!

Greetings,

Ectemnius
