Bonjour,

In the same place where i found the last one wich was more blue, with hair all white, while reddish for this one and last tergites black. Maybe a sexual dimorphism, but of what species ?

See other one, I wouldn't be surprised if this is the female to that male, the description of the female fails in Engel 1930. Holopogon melaleucus.
