 22.08.2009, southern Poland, Table Mountains
- bristles on hind femur rather short
- hind legs blackish only in the center, the tip yellow
- abdomen with red
- thorax black without the greenish sheen

I think it is Xylota ignava.
Verification please.

I have just received the very sad news that Peter Chandler has died after a fall at home yesterday. I have no other details at the moment. We shall miss him terribly.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
