the yellow spots do not reach the side margin, so not E. corollae. I need help, thank you.

Hi Andre,
corollae was also my first impression, but i think the spots do not reach the side margin. Perhaps i see it wrong.
Thank you for the anser.
Regards
Urs

It's a variation that happens in
corollae, especially in the females. Other characters are the yellow hairs on scutellum (
luniger has black hairs intermingled) and the rather straight front line of the black mark on the frons (not with a V or Y shape into the yellow).
Also, the apex of the anal vein is a little curved. This is not always easy to see, but in this specimen rather clear. But you need to see it next to a species like
luniger.

many thanks for these important informations about the variation of E. corollae. I think it is necessary to have a collection to see what is possible. Books alone...
