One will refer to the bibliographies , descriptions and photos which I already gave with my messages, on the Forum, concerning the Tenthredopsis. ------- Ciao,
# 2467 captured in a very wet depression of the ground, at an altitude of 690 m. in Cne : Chézery-Forens (Dépt. Ain - France) - 07.06.1992
Please excuse the bad quality of certains photos This Symphyta is a Tenthredopsis ♀ In addition one observe : - The forms of the clypeus (See photo). - The mesepisternum very strongly punctuated (See photo)
To my knowledge (...) this characteristic is specific ! - The black bands bordering ventrally the abdomen (See photo). According to Berland p. 142 it is T. tarsata If one had used the keys of Blank & Ritzau, one would have arrived at the same result. Thus : Tenthredopsis tarsata (Fabricius 1804) ♀ ..... OK ?
It seems that this species would not exist in Italy.
It is astonishing because it is in Romania, Croatia, etc . Perhaps that there is a species synonym, in Sicily or in the south of Italy, quoted by Costa (Is what its identifications were revised ?) Saluti.
