Totally right ! P. iavana (= varia), which concurred large parts of Belgium and the Netherlands last year.

Hello Eric and Theo,
many thanks for your answers and determination of the species. Is this species rare and where can I find a description, for example something about its distribution and time of appearance ?
Greetings Volker
