Hello,
I observed today this tiny
Sepsidae (2-3mm). With the stricted second tergit, I think this could be
Sepsis violacea, this time. Thanks for any indication.

Sepsis is okay, but I see no chance that this female will ever be reliably identified to species level unless you collected the very same specimen. With the absence of rather strong setae on the tergites I can rule out
S. violacea. Since sternopleuron is pollinose it cannot be
S. thoracica either.
