Hi, found this couple 20200924 on a sallow with Tuberolachnus salignus and hundreds of Vespula germanica/vulgaris.
I'm not sure if it's signatus or brevirostris and appreciate to read your ideas.
Thanks in advance, Eric

Hi Eric,
These are very nice photo's of a copula Leopoldius signatus!
The Theca is very small and does barely protrude from the abdomen. With brevirostris the Theca is much larger and does protrude, see:
