Argyra or Rhaphium, I think. I have trouble distinguishing females of those genera. |

Dear Kurt, This is a female of Rhaphium commune, characterized by the abrupt colour change in the hind femora. The closest relative with this kind of feature is R. fascipes, but this species has a different coloration of the hind femur. Cheers, Marc |
