Probabilmente non lo ha visto. Ora provo a mandargli un MP. Probabilmente lui riuscirà a capire cosa è.

Think, so big discussion about this common species...
Its sure Acmaeodera distigma.
Nearest species, A.brevipes (in dark aberation without yellow elytral marks) is occuring at south Balcan pen. only.
At Near east and Levant is A.brevipes allways typically coloured..

Thank you Ilja.
I also supposed it was distigma, but my doubt came from the possible confusion with another species that I didn't know.

But - this two species can be whole black, or dark without any yellow coloration.

A.brevipes is very variable species in base and elytral coloration in areal from Greece to Persia....
