Interesting
From this angle, the impressed notauli are still more visible and leave no doubt. The two small lateral yellow spots on the first urotergite are present on many European specimens too.
Moreover, it is now obvious that the female specimen nr 32611, from last year on the same kind of flowers, belongs to this species too.
