Hello, from Hungary. This could be two species: Peleteria ferina and Peleteria varia. In the second tergite there are no white hairs, only black, but in the middle of the first sternite there are a few yellowish. Palpus could be a feature, but I can’t see them in the specimen, maybe they broke off or they are completely missing. I read some information about dusting of abdomen is different in the two species, but I don’t really understand how exactly. I would rather say P. varia but I’m in doubt with this. What do you think?
