Thank you, Elias!

Interesting article!

So there is a few records of the species name M. setibarbus from Norway, which I then guess is actually M. intermedius.

I was using the key https://www.robberflies.info/keyger/htmle/keymachimus.html#1
Are you saying that the face beard character in couplet 5 is not a good character for the species named setibarbus?

I will wait recording it and hopefully catch a male next season, better to be certain!
