It is too late in the year for Gymnochaeta.

There is this other genus, Chrysocosmius, with so far only 1 species: auratus

Only 3 post DC, no appendix to bend in vein M:

Theo,

On Fauna europaea, we only have Chrysosomopsis aurata (Fallén 1820) (http://www.faunae...?id=144809). Is that what you mean?

Yes, Pierre, that is what I mean, it keeps changing first name and I lost track, apparently. Sorry.
