Hi Theo & Nacho Cabellos,

Actually the species appears to be common in the Sierra Morena on Foxes and Iberian Lynx (https://www.resea...s_in_Spain)

Ascan be seen in the following examples the habitus and pale scutellum resemble the one in the photo
(https://parasites...3305-4-143) & (https://www.biodi...04557.html ) & (https://diptera.i...d_id=66370)

Also there's a photo from an Isrealian specimen here on diptera.info (https://diptera.i...d_id=63458). As the host is a cat and the scutellum is also pale that would also make this H.longipennis. Or is that an too easy conclusion?

Kind regards,

Ectemnius
