With hairy eyes and strong ocellar bristles? Nope. I bet it is Phryxe, possibly heraclei. Any chance the apical scutellar bristles are erecit (invisible in the pic) ? Theo |

There you go. Phryxe is a difficult genus, certain ID need genitalia However, if you take a very good picture dorsally of the abdomen, obliquely from behind, I might take a guess. Theo |

Don't know if this is good enough. We have four species to choose in Finland: erythrostoma, magnicornis, nemea and vulgaris

Well, that is exactly what I'd asked for. Still, can't be 100 % sure, but now it looks like Ph. vulgaris. Theo |

The real thing obviously always beats the pictures, even if the picture is excellent as above. Already without genitalia examined I'd guessed it should be magnicornis, genitalia confirmed this. Now I know it, I can see it in the picture.... (hindsight knowledge) Theo |
