Sorry, I don't agree. This is really a dark coloured specimen of Laphria flava, especially the dark hair on the mesonotum. For comparison with L. ephippium please have a look http://www.robber...er004.html and the key http://www.robber...phria.html. All three images show yellow hair on the tergites, which are unknown in L. ephippium. Yours
