I have thought that it was a Pandivirillia, however, an expert said it should be Acrosanthe annulata. I checked the gallery to learn that Acrosanthe annulata is fully covered by silver hair while my specimen has the dark abdomen similar to Pandivirillia. Can Acrosahthe have such an abdomen?

In the meantime, I came across this web page: http://www.wbrc.org.uk/WORCRECD/36/Skirrow_Martin--0Pandivirilia_melaleuca_Forest_Silver-sti.html and I think, my picture is of the same species. Am I right? On top of that, I have also the older low-quality picture from the another site near Banska Bystrica, 18.06.2017, muddy road surface in a hot day, and I think, it is the same species treebeard attached the following image:  [260.47Kb] Edited by treebeard on 30-05-2018 20:17 |

Hi treebeard, Yes! Using Lyneborg 1986 it is clearly P. melaleuca. Tbia reddish, Frons with white tomentum, tergite 6 with a white band. Very nice find! Greetings, Ectemnius |
