Hello,

Pierre Duhem : France : Bonneval-sur-Arc : 73480 : 06/08/2019
Altitude : 2169 m - Taille : 8-10 mm
Réf. : 239836

I thought initially that this was Merodon clavipes, but evdb noticed rightly that the hind femur is not swollen enough and that the size is not 17-23 mm as stated by van Veen.

Now, what can it be?
Thanks in advance.
Pierre Duhem
