Probably (Machimus-group)Tolmerus cf atricapillus female, there are a lot of look-a-likes. Check if following species are known from Finland: T. strandi T. micans T. pyragra..... (Beard contains more white bristles then ususal for T. atricapillus)

Thanks a lot! Tolmerus atricapillus sense. It’s more common in the area. Only two species of Tolmerus-family are found in Finland. T. pyragra not in the area. |

Hi, There have been 437 sightings of Tolmerus atricapillus recorded across the country, but only 27 for T. pyragra, all limited to a small region in the south-east. Thanks a lot! Regards Pentti. Edited by Pentti Ketola on 11-08-2014 16:01 |
