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.
