Hello,
I stored the old pictures photographed in April 2007 in Germany as Epistrophella euchroma, but now I am unsure. I did not find it in the gallery. If wrong or unsure which other species are possible?
Thanks, Marion

This looks like a male Epistrophella euchroma to me. The spots instead of bands on the tergites, the orange antennae and largely yellow legs. Also the frons, in the males of this species, is conspicuously dusted.

I hope that helps,

Ectemnius

I agree. In addition: the picture shows the small yellow lateral spot at the transition between tergites 3 and 4, characteristic for this species.
