Am I seeing it correctly, that there are three post-ia bristles, that would make it an Oneisa (vs. Bellardia)? Or am I missing another possibilty?

Hi Lorin,

0+3 ia is correct (Onesia sepulchralis male). Onesia also has a thick dark stripe between the two thin stripes of the presutural area of the mesonotum. Bellardia do not have the dark stripe between the two thin ones.

Best wishes,
John

edit: Actually, i see a small presutural ia. 1+3 ia (O. austriaca/kowarzi). I am getting sleepy.

Thanks John, your additional hints are very helpful!
O. sepulchralis would be a new species for me, I keep on looking :)
