Maybe not enough to go on, but is it possible to say whether this is latifasciatus, nitens, or something else entirely? 29/7/2009; Devon, England. Thanks Tim tim worfolk attached the following image:  [103.09Kb] |

It's difficult to say for sure, but it's a strong possibility that this is E latifasciatus. The rather straight front edge to the yellow spots is typical of that species. Best to leave it at cf E latifasciatus.

In my eyes this is a clear latifasciatus. For instance, the bands don't reach the lateral margins of the tergites. The anal vein is quite straight, instead of slightly curved near apex (in comparison with corollae). |
