Hi, this female in bad conditions because found dead and dried outside my house, in Bagnacavallo environments (Ravenna province), on 26 June, 2026. In addition to images:
- postpedicel equal to first and second segments;
- profemur only with fine bristles;
- legs with black and yellow bristles;
- base of pro and media tibiae shortly reddish;
- abdomen apparently banded in postlateral view, apical tergites silvery. I suppose is Machimus species.
Giorgio.
P.S.: sorry, I don't understand why I can't post any image!!

Could it be Machimus rusticus (Meigen, 1820) ?
