Forum Entomologi Italiani

2nd Version :
The color of Tibiae does not allow to differentiate aenea and lonicerae, contrary to the hypothesis which I made in the 1st version of this description.
===================================
Here photos made by Nick Upton, that he sent on the forum Hymis.de on 10.12.2010 .
Photographed on 14.04.2011, on coastal footpath of North Cornwall (Great-Britain).

I identified this Symphyta, the author of the photos gave me the authorization to show them on our forum.
The Abdomen is badly visible, but it does not seem to have of dorsal depression, it would thus be a ♀.

This lonicerae is very close to A. aenea (See download/file.php?id=71661 )

- lonicerae has :The 3 & 4th antennal segments distinctly thickened.
- aenea has :The 3 & 4th antennal segments not thickened.

----
The presence of lonicerae would be doubtful in Italy
