Good morning,
this is without doubt the genus Platystoma but is it possible to determine the species as well? Photographed on 21 June 2022, Southern Moravia, Czech republic.
Thank you.

I would think this is
P. seminationis, but it’s not easy from photographs - perhaps Val can confirm?

No, just from its wing and mesonotum patterns (with large dark patches w/o dots) it is
P. lugubre. Its scutellum and humeral calli are reddish or yellowish, but not in all populations.
