Description
Male (from
Heinrich 1972
):
Mesoscutum with dense and rather coarse punctures, ground between punctures smooth and shiny. Margin of clypeus shiny. Malar space about
3/4
the length of the base of mandible. Flagellum with short elliptical tyloids on flagellomere 7-16.
Colour: face and thorax mostly black; white are inner orbits, narrow stripe on outer orbits, central spot on face, scapus and flagellum ventrally, collar, upper hind margin of pronotum, subalar ridge, tegulae, scutellum and postscutellum. Metasoma black; postpetiolus, tergite 2 and 3, and basal part of tergite 4 red; tergite 6 with white spot, tergite 7 mostly white. Coxae, trochanters and legs black; coxae I and II with white spot, ventral side of tibiae I and II, femur I except the base and apex of femur II pale yellowish.
Female:
Body length 6-7 mm. Flagellum with 27-28 segments, slightly lanceolate. First flagellomere about 1.8 times longer than wide, widest flagellomeres about 1.2 times wider than long. Temples roundly narrowed behind eyes. Clypeus moderately convex. Head with coarse dense puncture, clypeus with scattered puncture.
Pronotum with a strong longitudinal ridge medially. Mesoscutum with coarse puncture and fine granulation, strongly shining. Mesopleurum with coarse puncture (slightly rugose-punctate apically), intervals smooth and shining, metapleurum with coarse puncture, shining. Scutellum slightly wider than long, with lateral carinae in the basal 0.5. Propodeum completely carinate, area superomedia hexagonal, about as long as wide. Hind coxa punctate, without scopa. Hind femur stout, about 3.3 times as long as wide.
Postpetiolus strongly widened, not differentiate and without dorsal carina, almost smooth and with very scattered puncture medially. Second tergite with strong transverse thyridia, each thyridium about 1.6 times wider than the thyridial interval. Tergites 2-3 with coarse puncture, shining, tergite 4 superficially punctate, following tergites smoothened.
Colour: mostly black. Flagellum with ivory ring on flagellomeres 7-11. Ivory are narrow stripe on frontal orbit, apical half of scutellum, narrow apical band on tergite 6 (one specimen with completely black tergite 6) and wide apical band on tergite 7. Tergites 1-3 red. Following tergites black, the fourth one more or less reddish laterally. Coxae and trochanteres black. Femora I-II reddish, more or less infuscate at bases. Tibiae and tarsi I-II reddish, yellowish-red on frontal side. Hind leg black, tibia III with red subbasal ring. Pterostigma black.
Diagnosis
The female of
B. hibericus
Heinrich is similar to
B. ridibundus
(Gravenhorst, 1829) but it differs in having a stouter first flagellomere, strongly shining mesoscutum with coarse punctation, and a stouter hind femur (Figs 4, 5).
Distribution
Previously known only from Portugal (
Heinrich 1972
).
Notes
New for Italy.
