Hey,

Another Haematopota. This time I am pretty sure this is H scutellata, as the dot on scutellum is more visible than on the female I have.
My interrogation is on the description: "no red on the tergite 2-3". Variation? Mistake?
Due to the position in which it dryed, I can't make a good picture of the first antenal segment, but it is clearly shorter than twice the height on lateral view. On top view, apical 1/3 is shiny.
