Again very informative. Texts are clear "Tergites with dark brown to black hairs" but the picture of Geller-Grimm is not so clear. It looks to me that L ephippium has also reddish hairs on abdomen just less than L flava. L ephippium is not known from the Netherlands so i have no excperience with it. Although i have never seen such a dark L. flava yet. Probably have to see L. ephippium fresh and collected to gain experience.
