I pictured this specimen of
Leucophora in my garden (Belgium , Wanze) on 2022-03-28.
I usually use a special lens called Micro-Nikon 200mm F/4, so : DOF is about 2mm at the distance here 63cm !!! That will say : it's not because you don't see setae that they dont exist. You must use the right picture to know it ... This is the reason why I need so much pictures !
The specimen was measured (on picture) : 9,0mm
It seems to be a male.
This specimen is heavy hairy.
Arista is bare.
Claws are yellow.
Tibias are beige-yellow.
Except the normal setae, the notopleuron seems bare.
Many setae at the tip of abdomen which is heavy hairy.
Here are the picture :
