Diagnosis:
Ferreola denticulata
can be recognized by its large body size (females
17-21 mm
, one female only
15 mm
, males
12-18 mm
) in combination with a distinctive colour pattern: Head (apart the black area around ocelli), pronotum, scutellum and metanotum are orange-yellow, remaining body black. Wings are dark infuscate. Propodeal declivity is evenly spoke-like striate, striae originate on medial part of declivity base, and reach the edge between declivity and propodeal dorsum, leaving a small zone behind edge smooth. The similar
F. pseudodenticulata
nov.sp.
is smaller (females
13.5-16 mm
, males
9-13 mm
), striae of propodeal declivity are shorter, more irregular and cover only the lower half of declivity.
