Forum Entomologi Italiani

Hi,

Another chrysidid received last week.
This specimen was collected in 8.july.2010 in Moldova (46.428056 / 26.440833), leg. Alex.Pintilioaie (alexaandru here on the forum).
Size of the specimen is 5 mm.

I'm thinking that again is an Elampus like this one that remained without name

Is possible to have an ID?

Grazie,
cosmln

Hi Cosmin,

it should be Pseudomalus auratus (L.).

To be sure we need to eamine the lenght of the antennal segments (flagellomeres) - just take a picture in front of the face.
We need also a second picture with the lateral shape of the forefemur.

Ciao
Paolo

Paolo,

Here is a frontal view and a lateral view of the insect... forefemur is not visible
Still maybe this are useful to have a full ID.

Grazie,

Hi Cosmin,

I can see forefemur quite well, they are simple.
It's a common Pseudomalus auratus (L.), even if the the 4th flagellomere is a little bit longer than larger.

Ciao
Paolo
