Ciao,

# 2286 ♀ captured at an altitude of 955/960 m. in Cne : Le-Petit-Abergement (Dépt. Ain - France) - 27.07.1988

This capture is Tenthredo s.l..
- The abdomen is black & red and there is a white spot on each side of 1st tergite (see photo)
- The antennae are black & white.
It thus acts of sub-genus Tenthredella.
- The stigma is yellow (cf. Benson 1952 p. 124)
- 1 pale yellow crest [not fleck like writes Enslin 1912-1918 p. 66] on the episterna (see photo)

Finally :
Tenthredo (Tenthredella) solitaria Scopoli 1763 ♀ Che vive anche in Italia

Saluti.
