Field Notes

Description:

Maybe the Balkan endemic Hoplia stenolepis or Hoplia nigrina. But is very difficult to identify different species of Hoplia. According many European coleopterists this genus needs revision. I'm not sure if individual in photos 1-3 is of the same species as individual in 4th photo.

Habitat:

On apiaceae flowers in woodland edge.
