Gunomeria macrodactylus (Holmgren, 1856)

Gunomeria is a small genus that can be recognised by the fifth tarsal segments, which are large, very long and strongly arched. A closed areolet is present, the nervellus is intercepted above the middle. The propodeal carination is very limited ( TOWNES, 1970b).

It can be distinguished from G. sordida (Gravenhorst, 1829) by its frons, which is thickly and closely punctuated, its speculum (big/shiny) and some other aspects (see HORSTMANN, 2008).

First report for the Netherlands; unreported in Belgium.
