The key for the Norwegian species (http://www.entomo...2_1979.pdf) clearly leads to Dasyphora cyanicolor; as to its colour it is stated: "thorax and abdomen shining dark blue-green". The males of the two other species show densely hairy eyes (not seen here).
Acccording to Nihei & De Carvalho (2007) Eudasyphora is a subgenus of Dasyphora (http://www.bio-ni...uscini.pdf) - is there any reason that is still should be treated as a genus of its own?
