 the only species in Romania with this habitus. Anyway it's a group difficult to determine and there are two very similar species, not cited for Romania but...

Yes, with genitalia it0s easy. If you look at the shape of aedeagus and parameres you will see that they are very different. In addition males of O. femorata and O. flavipennis have a dark elytral border very often, O. graeca never. O. penicillata that can be confused with these three species can be easily distinguished by orange pronotum in females. I attach you a small image with genitalia |

Hi Alexandru, this is a image I've done on photoshop copying and pasting from Svihla, 1999. Revision of the subgenera Stenaxis and Oedemera s. str. of the genus Oedemera (Coleoptera, Oedemeridae)
