Hi,

I thought that white stripes on tergite was unique to Leucozona in Europe but I found out that Epistrophe leiophthalma could have it as well!

therefore, I'm hesitating between the Epistrophe leiophthalma and E leiophthalma for this male.

Here a three pictures.

I'm pretty convinced that is E. leiophthalma because the eyes are bald whereas they are heary in L. glaucia.

Epistrophe leiophthalma is correct
