Forum Entomologi Italiani

Hi ,

I found today this nice species, the lenght is 5-6 mm. It is possible to have a name for the specimen ?

The photos are too small and are not rather net, too many characters are invisible or little visible.
Determination practically impossible for me.

A me sembra un Ichneumonidae

Effectivement I a little thought it, but it appeared to me that the number of segments of the antenna was low (it is true that the photos are so little net).
Similarly the form of yellow stripes along the internal edges of eyes, appeared to me unknown in the Sawfly.

Probably Diplazontinae (Ichneumonidae). As you already know, the best proof would be a close up of mandibles, that look tridentate in Diplazontinae. Genera id from picture, for me, would be problematic in any case.

Filippo
