Phora it is, but probably not publipes. IIRC pubipes has brown hind tarsi. Phora males are best identified using the old Schmitz in Lindner and careful comparison with figures of male genitalia. Personally I don't like the figures of Disney very much, since many of the best features are not visible in the strict lateral view he uses.

I have almost all Finnish species (14) in my collection and plan to make new figures of the genitalia. I don't know yet if they will be published on the net only or as a proper paper.

I advise you to contact Mike Mostovski (Mikhail Mostovski, mmostovski- at -nmsa.org.za Natal Museum, South Africa) as he prepared the complete revision genus Phora of Palearctic. Mike explored all types of Phora.

Thanks for the note. Is his work already published? I have at least one apparently undescribed species from northern Finland sitting in my collection.
