I think its fairly safe to move to tribe level.

Bembid*ion?

I can´t see key characters, but habitus fits within this large and diverse genus.

listing key characters

Thanks Boris. This "problem" of being able to see key characters seems to occur so often, I thought I'd float an idea in the Forums for having pre-made lists of them available on BugGuide info pages. Comment if you like here .

Nope,

not this one. It's brand-new to me.
