Hi,
this female
Xanthogramma, which I identified as
X. pedissequum, was recently suggested to be
X. dives.
I wondered if the infuscated wing tips are rather a reflection of light and also, if the hind legs shouldn't be darker for
X. dives.
There is yellow visible on the pleura just in front of the halteres - this should be a determining feature if I am correct?
Are other diagnostic features visible in this image?
You can find the observation here:

Best,
Lorin
