Ciao,

# 4626 ♂ captured with immediate proximity, of a peat bog active, at an altitude of about 800 m. in Cne : Arleuf (Dépt. Nièvre - France) - 03.07.2009

These captures are Tenthredo s.l..
- The antennae are black & white.
- The abdomen is black and there is a white spot on each side of 1st tergite.
It thus acts of sub-genus Tenthredella.
- The clypeus is black with 2 white spots almost circular, it is a specific character.
According Enslin 1912-1918 p.59/61 each coxae 3 must have 2 white spots, our capture does not have these spots !
But in certain Tenthredella sp. the white spots (normally present) on the mesopleuron can disappear, that can be the case on the coxae 3 of bipunctula.

Finally :
Tenthredo (Tenthredella) bipunctula Klug 1817 ♂ Che vive anche in Italia

Saluti.
