A sawfly from a meadow in SW Sweden. Arge is the genera I think, but does anybody know which species? Or where I can find an actual key to this group?

Thankful for any help!

From the venation, I'd say this was an Aprosthema. Fauna Europaea indicates 5 species in Sweden.

With good help from piros on HymIS forum it seems clear that it is A. melanura.

I can no longer send private messages (and maybe not receive?), even though my inbox and outbox are not yet full. I write, click "send" and they disappear and never show up in the outbox.
