Hello,

I observed it on a Pulicaria the 24th of July in the north of France. I think of a Myopites apicatus, what do you think ?

Cordially Maxime

ID and nomenclature of the most common species of the genus Myopites remains confused and vague. Of the 3 species with wide dark crossbands occorring in France, it reminds M. inulaedyssentericae Blot more than the other two.

M. apicatus Freidberg has narrower crossbands and apical veins subparallel; M. exomia Seguy is restricted to the Atalntic coast

It looks to be M. stylatus f.
