Found on 13. June 2017 near Kerzers, Switzerland, 437 m, on a meadow.

Size: approx. 15 mm

It looked smaller to me than a Nephrotoma appendiculata, I found this spring. Could it still be this species?

Kind regards,
Ov

The photos I have seen of Nephrotoma appendiculata have a longer basal section of vein Rs. I don't know how variable that character is.
