Hello Jürgen,
I haven't found
pallida yet. I've seen
angelicae and
errans but i haven't formally studied them (I have no specimens). Berlin is very large and i don't visit many areas, so perhaps i am not visiting preferred habitats. I live in the west of Berlin. I have yet to see many species of
Phaonia. Then again, I don't know the biology of
Phaonia, so i suppose that i should learn more about them.
Here in Ostwestfalen P. tuguriorum, subventa and pallida are very numerous, valida and rufiventris (do you mean this with rufipalpis?)
see my post about Phaonia rufipalpis:

I usually see alot of
rufipalpis in late summer and autumn. I was always curious about the species, so I asked for confirmation.
I hope that you have a pleasant night :)
