Elachiptera megaspis (Loew, 1858), Chloropidae has (different from bimaculata) a typical triangular and elongate form of the scutellum with prominent yellow approached apical projections and long apical setae. The tergites have a coarse surface structure, to be seen in the pictures. It belongs to a taxonomically difficult species-group including the similar graeca Duda, 1932. E. megaspis normally possess a dark occiput, but in the pictures it is yellow above.
