===========
According to Mrs Thirion, it is about Buathra aff. laborator.
But this Mrs has never wanted to give me an explanation, about the "aff" !

(Maybe for to want to keep his "Science" for her ...)

Determination of sp. (There are 4 sp. in Europe) :

divisoria - laborator (= fulvipes) - spinipes - tarsoleuca (= curvicauda)

* divisoria ♂ has :

- The Tergites without any trace of red [our capture with trace of red]
- A long Ramulus [our capture with a Ramulus short]

* spinipes ♂ (endemic of Romania) with lower Mandible longer than the superior

[Our capture has the lower Mandible shorter than the superior (visible with great difficulty on our very bad photo)]

* tarsoleuca ♂ has :

- The stigma yellow-brown [entirely black for our capture]
- The Tarsomere 4 of Legs 3 not white [white for our capture]

Of where the determination
