Key to European Species 



(Females) 



1 Antennae inserted hardly above the ventral edge of the eyes ; scape slightly shorter 

 than an eye, barely reaching the level of the median ocellus. Fore wing with 

 marginal vein thicker, only about three times as long as broad ; height of stigma 

 not greater than breadth of marginal vein. Mesoscutum anteriorly hardly more 

 coarsely reticulate than the collar region of the pronotum maculatus Walker (p. 420) 



- Antennae inserted distinctly above the ventral edge of the eyes ; scape relatively 



longer, reaching above the level of the median ocellus. Fore wing with marginal 

 vein less thick, about four times as long as broad ; height of stigma distinctly 

 greater than breadth of marginal vein. Mesoscutum anteriorly more coarsely 

 reticulate than the collar region of the pronotum . ladenbergi (Ratzeburg) (p. 421) 



(Males)
