the proboscis in this one is very long (something like more than one time head)... so i think this falls ... i hope :)

Hilara, perhaps albiventris (I don't have my key here).

Hi Paul,

checking with fauna EU gineme that H.albitarsis in not present in Romania.
after same source H.albiventris is present in Romania.
anyway: i have the exemplary but i can't key that because i don't have from where.

sory that i continuig to comeback here with that source, but for now is the only i have.

Make certain that the back side of the head is well visible, and if the the thorax has any stripesfrom a certain point of view an image of that would be most useful as well.

another one question.
someone can give me some hints where to search for that? i think will be better to succed to collect some more specimens. specially some males.
that particular specimen was captured in my balcony on the wall. i don't think is the perfect habitat fot that one.

thanks in advance,
