The location is open and windy. Plants with triglyphus primus larvae.

Hello Leif Bloss Carstensen,
Well, now that you also have male specimens I'd say E. goeldlini. Because the sternite markings are exactly as in Speight 2007. Also with the male at hand it will be possible to check the genitalia. I'd have to see if there' s literature depicting them. If you' d want a pdf of that, send me a pm.
Greetings,
Ectemnius

Hello Ectemnius. The male and female are 17 years apart, but the locations just 2-3 km. And galls can be found all around the small city. So both may be E. goeldlini. If you find literature depicting male genetalia, please send me a pdf or a link. I will try to find larvae this year. Not impossible, thanks to the number of galls around the city. I will label the male E. Goeldlini.
Greetings
