I found this species a couple of times in the Western part of Bulgaria near Rila last week. Can anybody help me with the ID? Kind regards, Paul |

I think it is the eastern form of Stenopogon sabaudus (male), or possibly S. xanthotrichus. These two are difficult to separate, the shape of the hypopygium is the best character, in my limited experience. Greetings, Henrik Edited by piros on 26-06-2017 12:56 |

I agree about S. sabaudus (in Engel 1930 this would be S. sabaudus fulvulus (Pallas 1818)) In catalogue Lehr (1988) S. fulvulus is regarded synonym. S xanthotrichus lacks the dusting on the tergites.
