Merodon ?
Marion Friedrich
Hello,
the attached single picture was photographed in Bulgaria, Nature Park Zlatni Piassatzi, near Black Sea coast in the beginning of September 2008. I stored it together with the M. equestris, but legs and eyes look in my opinion different. Could it be a Merodon aeneus? Is species ID possible?
Thank you, Marion

Hi Marion
I am now with Ante Vujic , specialist on Merodon taxonomy. He identify the species as Merodon ambiguus Bardescu 1986.
It is not 100% secure because more details of abdomen are necessary.
If you conserve the specimen could send another photo of the abdomen and legs.

Hi Santos,
many thanks to you and Ante Vujic for ID. I will store the image as Merodon cf. ambiguus. Unfortunately I cannot provide further pictures because it was not collected and photographed from a long distance. It is the only picture and also full resolution.
Best wishes, Marion
