Hi libor,
Thank you very much for the identification!
The rather dark coloration of the legs had confused me, as they normally appear much more distinctly yellow than in my specimen. I have since learned that there are also darker, even melanistic specimens of M. corrigiolata.
I had already suspected that it was not M. cingulata, but I wasn't completely sure. Now that I know to look at the hind femur, the diagnostic feature is much clearer.
Thanks again for your help! 🪰
