Hehe, Gerard has to make his living doing field work this summer. After that it is a holiday. He might well be on that holiday right now, so expect him back in the not too distant future.
And, well, I was wondering about
Eumerus, too. Those hind tarsi should be characteristic, one would think.

The white-pilose hind tarsi are found in the males of a couple of
Eumerus species -
argyropus and
flavitarsis, but
argyropus has spots only on tergite three, so this a male
flavitarsis. Cute fly!
