Nice pictures! Its a Hedychrum sp., malei, ts either H. nobile or H. niemelai , although the size makes the latter more probable. Potentially it could also be H. gerstaeckeri but ...

Hello for separate nobile niemelai, you must show the third sternit (especially the apical tooth), but it is not easy : it is very small :/

Sorry

Could be H. nobile, H. niemelai and even H. micans europaeum in one of its colour forms ...

Hi Paul,

yes, it could be H. niemelai,
nevertheless, as you know, you should check the ventral surface of the abdomen to be sure 100%

In case of large specimens (7-8 mm) they are surely H. nobile, but in case of smaller specimens you need the help of morphological characters.

Ciao!

Hi folks,

here is an animal, I've seen in the mid of june, ca. 5-6mm.
Could it be H. niemelai?

Best regards Paul

Ole!

Beautiful pictures!

It's a female of Hedychrum, very likely niemelai Linsenmiaer.
However, to be 100% sure it is necessary to examine the third sternite (the last part of the abdomen, in ventral view). The other option is Hedychrum nobile (Scopoli)

Cheers
Paolo

... :beer: , Englich with Google Translator. > then it must be a female Hedychrum. Holopyga generosa is not present in the biotope. Very often Hedychrum ... only Hedychrum. For the region are reported: H. gerstaeckeri, H. niemelai, H. nobile, H. rutilans. It remains almost exclusively Hedychrum ...

I think it is a female Hedychrum, nobile or niemelai, with this "big" size, nobile, but I'm not sure.

Its a male Hedychrum sp., probably H. nobile, H. niemelai or possibly H. gerstaeckeri

Hi Bogdan, it looks like a female of Hedychrum niemelai Linsenmaier, because it is slender and not "robust". The dimensions are very important ...
