This species is very nice and I haven't seen it so far, I had doubt between 2 cases and for sure I asked to another expert of Chloropidae (Terry Wheeler). Anyway in his opinion that's PROBABLY Elachiptera sp. I hope we will find the name as sure! Sincerely yours Sara |

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. |

Additional comments: E. megaspis was reared by Falcoz (1930, Bulletin de la Société entomologique de France (nouvelle Série) 35: [p.150 in] 148-154) from stems of Nasturtium officinale (Brassicaceae). It occurs in all countries around the Mediterranean Sea, was recorded from most of its major islands and also from the Acores, Canary Islands and Madeira. Records from more northern countries (Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, Czech Republic, Germany, The Netherlands, England, Ireland) are rare. Denmark (in the Pal. Catalogue 1984) was not confirmed by Nartshuk & Andersson 2013 in Fauna ent. scand. 343. |
