It's Physocephala, however, I doubt if it is rufipes. Rufipes should have the femur 3 largely... black (don't blame me). Moreover, it is very elongated. SO this might be Ph. nigra. Theo Zeegers |

Femur of rufipes should be uniformly reddish, as far as I know. For a better ID we need a picture from the front, taken a little bit from the side (if possible). Could even be chrysorrhoea? Greetings, Andr |

Andr? is right that a picture from the front would help. P. chrysorrhoea should have a completely yellow face and the brown wing-band covering R2 comletely, and a silvery stripe on the pleura (which I can`t see) (-->if it has this silvery stripe it's more likely to be P. truncata.) Without the silvery stripe we'll need a pic of the face to say if it's nigra of rufipes. Edited by Guenter on 16-07-2007 12:11 Günter Schwendinger |

I'd go for P. rufipes.

Andre is right, it's rufipes after all, as well illustrated by the black vitta on face in the last picture. My mistake Theo |
