Much too large. Gymnosoma are a big mess.

I'm not an expert, but with the T&H key I end with Gymnosoma rotundatum:
- 5-8 mm ≈ G. nudifrons
- the dusted area of the mesoscutum forms a continuing band behind the suture
- dorsal hairs longer

I agree with G. rotundatum, but it lacks some pruinosity on the scutellum, doesn't it?
This is one of the features that led me to inornatum..

Totally unreliable. Life is not as easy as Zimin sketched, alas.
