Slovenia, Kočevje, 20.5.2017, 370m
Can somebody identify it? Is it a female Rhagio maculatus ?
Thanks in advance :)

No, female notatus.

R. notatus with such extensive yellow on legs and tip of abdomen, Theo? Why not R. vitripennis?

My impression is the same: Rhagio vitripennis.

The anterior margin of the wing outside the stigma is not darkened, hence, it cannot be vitripennis.
To be honest, two points
* colouration of Rhagio sp. is highly variable, in my experience.
* I have no good knowledge of the fauna of the Balkans.
The yellow first tergite is indeed highly atypical for notatus.

Thank you Libor and Theo :)
So it is more likely to be Rhagio vitripennis ?

There is no consensus (yet).
