Hello,
Hoping to get an ID on this please? Photo attached. Could it be Machimus cingulatus?
Found a couple of weeks ago Guernsey, Channel Islands. In coastal scrubland habitat.
Cheers,
Al

Hi Al, I think Machimus (Tolmerus) cingulatus is correct. Resembling is M. cowini and difficult to distinguish but as we can see the posterior yellow stripe on forefemur it is most probably cingulatus.
