I think this match quite good with Machimus cyanopus, however that species is not known from Norway. Is it possible to tell? South Norway 9th june 2024 ca 19mm MorganA attached the following image:  [280.12Kb] |

Dear MorganA, Nice find! This is indeed a Machimus, but part of a complex of species only identifiable by examining male terminalia. The only species known from Northern Europe however, is Machimus intermedius. I've published about the species new for the Netherlands here: https://www.resea.../366964532 It includes an English summary which is quite extensive. Currently I'm part of a group of several authors revising this species-group in Europe. If you would publish this record I'd implore you not to use the name cyanops. And if possible, catch a male and confirm it is M. intermedius! Kind regards, Elias |
