Hello! Is this a Morellia male? If so, it is the largest one of this genus I have ever seen: about 7-8 mm. Found four days ago at forest (northwest Germany).

Not Morellia (t2 have a pv). It is Eudasyphora or Dasyphora. Stephane. |

Hello, Stephane! Stephane Lebrun wrote: Not Morellia (t2 have a pv). It is Eudasyphora or Dasyphora. Thanks! Because of the size I also thought of these at first. But then I noticed the broad middle band ("bar"  on the thorax. Isn't that characteristic for Morellia?

No, for instance, Eudayphora cyanicolor bear a well defined presutural white midstripe too.

1. I can add that Morellia never has so bluish-green color, nor Dasyphora so few dusting. 2. Eudayphora cyanicolor bear a well defined presutural white midstripe too and bare eyes

Hello, Nikita! Thanks to you, too! Nikita Vikhrev wrote: and bare eyes That is mostly an attribute I can't recognize on my photos  . A possible hair covering usually drowns in diffusion... I think it needs much more experience than I have to recognize such things on pictures with the quality of mine.

In this case you can't find hiars on eyes, because hairs absent
