Hi,

this morning I saw the specimen shown on the pictures. I think, it's a male.
Is there anybody who can give a name to it? It's size was about 8mm.

All the best Paul

You are correct, the short last tergite shows its a male. Unfortunately males in the ignita-group are very hard (and sometimes truly impossible) to identify to species using morphology alone. Cant help you get any further than you have already ID'd it yourself.

Beautiful pictures though!
