There should be only one species in Middle Europe. I think your images all show females. Males are rather different, they havea largely yellowish abdomen.

Thank you very much Gabor. There were two problems: 1. Genus as mentioned. 2. This species is doubtful in Germany - says faunaeur.org In beetles you can?t believe this source, because many experts didn?t use the newest literature. Greetings Frank |

Hi Frank Stomorhina lunata has moved rapidly to the north in the last 10 years. It might be expected all the way up to Kiel, in my opinion. Maybe faunaeur.org missed this recent development. Theo |
