Hi,

I don't imagine that this specimen is identifiable, but I'm sure someone can name any possibilities? At least I can recognise a broad dark band on the goldy* scutum. Maybe this helps...who knows!

Thanks in advance for your help!

* I'm really wondering if only the word silvery does exist, but not its golden equivalent... and for what reason ;) - I use it anyway.

It looks more like an Eumerus female to me, something similar to E. strigatus.
Greetings,

You're right! Somehow I didn't ever notice that genus...until now, and it looks a lot like that. Many thanks, Henrik!
