Moved from Toxomerus politus.

The markings on tergite 2 loo
The markings on tergite 2 look triangle shaped and not linear as on tergite 2 in politus.
The scutellum is yellow/orange with darker bright orange central spot whereas politus scutellum is yellow/orange with the central spot brownish.
The black bands at side margins on tergites 2 and 3 and 4 are much broader in politus than in this specimen.
Male politus don`t seem to have femora partly black.
The one male in the jussiaeae series on BugGuide has some black on the hind femora but unfortunately there is no male image posted by Ximo shown on image 362617 page.
I think this is could be Toxomerus jussiaeae..... male.
I have sent it to Martin.
