Hi,

Strange summer, a second very characteristic but completely odd species! Caught from a powerline in South-Central Finland 19th of July.

Looks superficially like Gonia picea, but only few hairs at r-m, basicosta and tegula black AND of course phenology obviously different.

In the Central European key this keys as Onychogonia (silver pollination on cheeks more obvious than in the pictures), unfortunately it's a female, but superficially O. cervini would fit but as all the Onychogonia seem to be high mountain species (in Finland O.flaviceps occurs only above tree-line in Lappland), so nothing makes much sense. With Bei-Bienko this keys as flaviceps... Anything obvious that I miss here??:o

Got my first Leskia aurea from the same site... been a real struggle to get this fairly common species.:D
