Hi Toon,
Of the five described Pachytodes species, only P. erraticus and P. cerambyciformis seem to have been reported from Bulgaria or its neighboring countries (at least as far as I have been able to find out).
I found an identification aid on Wikipedia to distinguish between P. erraticus and P. cerambyciformis based on differences in wing cover surface structure and hind leg tarsi segment length. Regretfully this does not help as my photo's do not provide the right view and/or enough detail. So I guess I'll stick to Pachytodes sp.
Thanks for your advice.
Regards,
David
