Hello Tony,

in my opinion the image could also be of a specimen of the Choerades fimbriata / fulva - group. Have a look at the very dense patch of yellow / pale hairs on the thorax side. In marginata / femorata this patch is in most cases not so dense and very often intermixed with some longer dark hairs. The pale margins on the tergites are rather broad, especially at the end of the abdomen. The patch of pale hairs in front of the scutellum often occurs in this species-group (fimbriata / fulva). Unfortunately tergit 1 is not to see under the wings.

Greetings Danny


Hello Tony and Danny!

I can show you another image deciding that it is either the same or a closely related species.
