Hi, is this a male of B. venosus (or maybe vulpinus?) I found this specimen on the same date as and in proximity to this one, where I think it might be a female B. venosus. Any thoughts?

Femora black beneath the silverish scales. 7-12mm. -> Bombylius vulpinus ?

The key you are using does not say that this can't be a feature of B. venosus as well. But when you go up you will find: "along the hind border of the eye a row of black hairs on the head, contrasting with the yellow hairs". I think they are present here.

I gave my personal opinion, you gave yours, we await a more authoritative opinion. |
