Found this one in the garden today.
I have 3 in my Checklist;
P.nigritarsis,
P.pallidventris and
P.strigifrons.
This one does have some black on the tarsi, but is it as obvious as that?

yes. :)
if the name describes well... so maybe a P. cf. nigritarsis. Wait for Paul. ;)

Annulated tarsi and, what appear to be but not very distinct, brownish basal segments to the antennae:
P. pallidiventris. That is, if it is indeed one of the three mentioned species.

I think I'll assume it is :P. Thanks Paul.
Apparently not as obvious as thought Jorge :|.
Regards to both of you...Roger
