Hello! This was found by Tamás Klózer in Hungary, 2022. 04. 17.

I know that this is a Gonia species, but the characteristics are not so clear for me. First of all, the first point in the key what I use: “ Tergite 5 (viewed from behind) practically undusted, or just a pale dusty band” . Is this undusted, and then the species is Gonia divisa? Or is this dusted and, is this a compeletely different species? How can I distinguish divisa from the other species in the genus? Or what is the best key for the genus? Please help me!

Yes, this is divisa. I wouldn’t say “ practically undusted”, i would say “ with a very narrow band”. Check pics of other spe ies, you will see the difference.
Also, the head is dark yellow, whereas it is whitish in most other species.

Thank you very much! I’ve seen some pictures about other species, and I understand now, they have a much wider and much more conspicuous line on tergite 5.
