Fingers crossed for some nice males :) Which flowers might be productive for aurigea in the Autumn - Solidago perhaps?

Solidago, later Hedera.
But it will fly on many Asteracaea and so on.

It will fly till end of October, of course, if the weather permits. But as said, peak first half of September. So later than Ph. hemiptera, there is the tiniest overlap.
