This one is from today in my garden on carrot flowers. 07/07/2018, 700 masl, Talara, Granada, S Spain.

Another shot including the face.

Dorsal view.

its a Holopyga, the sharp temples in the last image is rules out Hedychridium and Hedychrum. No idea what species though, I find the genus hard to get a grip on

Nice pictures, both these and the other posts!

Thanks Alex,
Lets see what Paolo has to say,

Cheers,

Hi!

interesting finding.
I'm not sure, but this could be the male of Holopyga merceti Kimsey or H. duplicata Linsenmaier.
However, not even Linsenmaier (1997) was able to separate males of these two species.
