B. littoralis (?)
- white to yellow bands on T1-T5, interrupted medially & each with strong, anterior emarginations
- centre of vertex not strongly depressed (cf. B. furcata)
Despite being a common, widespread species, Iām not yet completely confident in my ability to recognise it. It remains a work-in-progress.
