Hi Mike!

Looks like a pretty male C. aenea, beside some other traits, all tarsi yellowish).

May I ask you about the locality?

Thank you, Helge!

The exact position is 48.240066, 16.294969, Pötzleinsdorf, 1180 Wien.
It is an oak and beech dominated wood area (Wienerwald). C aenea was hovering around beech bushes.
This spot is highly interesting, also found Dicera berolinensis and Orussus abietinus on trees in the vicinity.

Regards,

Mike
