Found feeding on Achillea filipendulina in area with mediterranean vegetation by a river in the outskirts of Madrid, Spain. Date: 07.07.2013.

It has been suggested that it is Euchroeus limbatus. Can it be confirmed? Thanks in advance!!

:wow:

Fabulous!!!
This is one of the most beautiful European species. That's really 8-)

About the ID, Euchroeus limbatus is correct, however I prefer to consider it as a distinct subspecies called dusmeti Trautmann, 1926. The typical limbatus, in fact, is distributed only from Turkey to central Asia and it is distinct in respect of colour and sculpture.

:thanks:

for your pictures
