Hi

i will chenge the title according to this new information.
now in the base of this information i consulted the romanian monography for this group.
on this genus just one species (with one subspecies).
Stilpnogaster aemula setiventris (characteristic for the subspecies is: pilosity more abundant on the abdomen and the red colour from the tarses and tibia is wider).
also the wing ilustration that is presented in the book is identical with the one from the book.
the rest of the characters looks identical, also there one data about distribution is more or less in the same area.

so is possible to be this species: S.aemula (Meig, 1820)?

thanks for the help,
cosmln
