R. M. Bohart and L. S. Kimsey, 1982 · 1 Cleptes semiauratus, mesopleuron |
Overview |
Taken from:
R. M. Bohart and L. S. Kimsey. 1982. A Synopsis of the Chrysididae in America North of Mexico.
Discussion: As pointed out under rufigaster, semiauratus can be distinguished by the ridged mesopleuron (fig. 7), narrow clypeal truncation (narrower than antennal socket) and sexually dimorphic coloration. Males have blue to green legs and thorax, and females have red legs and a bronzy to coppery thorax. Primarily European, semiauratus is probably adventive in New Jersey, introduced by shipping or air travel.
Hosts: Tenthredinid hosts reported in Europe are Pristophora sp. Nematus spp, and Pachynematus app. (Gauss 1964).
Material examined: 1 male, 1 female (European specimens).
Distribution: NEW JERSEY: Metuchen.
