The host (different pupa of course, and not the same scale).

It is a rare male of Ichneumon brevis Tischbein! It would be extremely interesting to have it for checking of certain details, possible or not? J.Valemberg dt who asks for also the authorization please of use the photographs in his gallery of reference! cthirion |

Many thanks Camille (and Joel Valemberg) - it's not mentioned at all in The Keys to the Insects of the European Part of the USSR, vol. 3, pt. 3 (1981) - Fauna Europaea gives distribution in Austria and France - the only reference I've found is N.F. Meyer, vol. 1, p.122, 176 (1933), as a parasite of Thecla ilicis. I keep the pinned specimen so could have tried to check what needed (or just keep it more for experts). Of course Mr. Valemberg can use the images in his gallery. |
