Hello,
On October 03, 2019 in the south of France, on ivy.
I know it is difficult to distinguish the Gymnosoma but perhaps it will be possible to get to the species with these photos.
Thank you for your suggestions.

It is a female nudifrons or costatum.

Indication of size ? (4 mm. or 7 mm.) ?

Thank you very much Theo,
I did a calculation with the ivy flowers, Gymnosoma measures between 6 and 7 mm

OK, that is ‘definitely’ nudifrons.

Between quote’s, because nothing is definite in Gymnosoma.
