Determination of Family Xiphydriidae , see :
viewtopic.php?f=370&t=21255 The Family contains a single Genus :
XiphydriaThis Genus contains 7 European species.
- With Abdomen black & yellow , [♂ :
Antennae black & yellow] :
irrorata ♂ (♀ unknown)
- With Abdomen mainly or entirely reddish :
megapolitana (only 2 cubital Cells),
prolongata (3 cubital Cells)
- With Abdomen entirely black :
betulaeAs we see it on the joined photos, our capture is not one of these 4 species
Thus there remain 3 species :
-
longicollis : Legs brown, Tibias with a basal white ring - [
Antennae black]
(Our capture has the Legs reddish & the Tibias without white ring)
-
picta : The 2 clear strips on the vertex reach the Eyes
-
camelus : The 2 clear strips on the vertex do not reach the Eyes
Thus our capture is this last species [
the most common of Genus],
it was captured in Italy
