Hello.
Here is a couple taken from Mint.
On our LMDI forum, we hesitate between the two species.
We would be pleased to hear your views and we thank you for them.

Bonjour.
Voici un couple pris sur Menthe.
Sur notre forum LMDI, nous hésitons entre les deux espèces.
Nous serions heureux de connaitre votre point de vue et nous vous en remercions.

T. formosa: see the basal margin of the dark area: it runs almoost straight, crossing the wing, whereas in bardanae the dark area os rather anchor-like.

Good evening Nosferatumyia.
This is the argument, related to the shape of this dark spot, that I also advanced for T. formosa.
I am a beginner and not an entomologist, I am just doing a small inventory of the fauna in my garden and a doubt persisted.
Thank you very much.

Bonsoir Nosferatumyia.
C'est l'argument, lié à la forme de cette tache sombre, que j'avançais aussi pour T . formosa.
Je suis débutant et non entomologiste, je fais juste un petit inventaire de la faune de mon jardin et un doute persistait.
Merci beaucoup.
