Early November, Vienna - which Campichoeta species is it? Didn't find a key for this genus.

Campichoeta punctum or grandiloba. Because of the rather distinct lines on the mesonotum the former is most likley.

Thanks Paul! Could you hint me to more features for discrimination (or a link), I might have a closer look at the specimen

Mainly male genitalia. Either McAlpine's original description of Chandler's revision. Females are tricky...

No records of C. grandiloba in Austria however

As far as I know it has a more Southern distribution, possible somewhat more in the East than in the West.
