Several of these have been flying into our lounge over the past few days. I presume it is Eumerus Sp. Is a genus ID possible?

I read that "the larva of E. funeralis are phytophagous, feeding in damaged bulbs and are minor pest of Amaryllis, Hyacinthus and Narcissus." I have recently come across several rotting Narcissus bulbs in my garden and now wonder whether these little beasties were to blame.
