Forum Entomologi Italiani

A fine aprile nei pressi di Ozzano Emilia in provincia di Bologna mi sono imbattuto in questi due imenotteri in copula.
Pensavo a Tenthredinidae Tenthredo zonula, ma è più una idea che una vera certezza.

E' possibile identificarli?

Saluti,

- The reflections prevent from well distinguishing the details of metapleura.
- The colors of clypeus are invisible
The closest species seem to be :

Yellow clypeus : Tenthredo (Elinora) dahlii Klug 1817, but this species is unknown in Italy (but present in Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, etc).
Black clypeus : Tenthredo (Elinora) koehleri Klug 1817, know in Italy.

A photo of one of 2 faces would be needed to choose !

Ciao.

I have only this one but it's an horrible foto and the face is only partially visible.
But it seems that the clypeus is yellow...

Saluti,

Thanks for the photo.
No koehleri.
cf. dahli ... because the details of metapleura are very little visible.

Thanks!
