Hello!
Is this a
Morellia male? If so, it is the largest one of this genus I have ever seen: about 7-8 mm. Found four days ago at forest (northwest Germany).

Not
Morellia (t2 have a pv). It is
Eudasyphora or
Dasyphora.

Thanks! Because of the size I also thought of these at first. But then I noticed the broad middle band ("bar") on the thorax. Isn't that characteristic for
Morellia?

No, for instance,
Eudayphora cyanicolor bear a well defined presutural white midstripe too.

1. I can add that Morellia never has so bluish-green color, nor Dasyphora so few dusting.
2.
Eudayphora cyanicolor bear a well defined presutural white midstripe too
and bare eyes

Hello, Nikita!
Thanks to you, too!

That is mostly an attribute I can't recognize on my photos :|. A possible hair covering usually drowns in diffusion... I think it needs much more experience than I have to recognize such things on pictures with the quality of mine.

In this case you can't find hiars on eyes, because hairs absent ;)
