Today two phaonias on picture.
species a: might be P. fuscata-female

This identification is based on the marks on thorax, witch i compared with the pictures on this website.
Any help by identification is welcome

Species a is a female
Phaonia tuguriorum.
For species b, I'll need to see whether there is posterior setae on fore tibia.

Species
b looks like
P. errans, it seems that there are 2 pairs of acrostichals before the scutellum, (anterior ones broken or very weak ?), and frontal triangle narrow and reaching anterior part of frons...

ergo P. errans

Our messages have crossed. I am convinced that it is
P. errans now (we can even see the rows of proclinate setulae aside the frontal bristles, and no posterior setae on t1 - OK). :)
