Forum Entomologi Italiani

Ciao,

Here photos made by Mr. Jose Ignacio PASCUAL, that it sent on the forum Hymis.de
On 29 V 2011 in Madrid (Spain)
I identified this Symphyta, it acts of Macrophya (M.) rufipes ♀.
The author of the photos gave me the authorization to show it on our forum.
---
This species, with its legs 3 more or less red & a black abdomen whose median segments are stained of red, can not be confused with no other Macrophya.
NB : The white (or yellow) spots, on the last tergites, are not always present !
We finds it in France and Italia.

Saluti.
