Olesicampe macellator (Thunberg, 1822) (Fig. 15)

The teeth of O. macellator are more or less equal in length and its head is not cubic, this species thus belongs to the abovementioned subgenus Holocremna . It is a very colourful species (see also Fig. 15). Its mesosoma is mostly black, but the metasoma is predominantly red. The mandibles and trochanters are white to yellow. The hind femora are red, the hind tibiae as well, but with a black apical band. The apical flagellomeres are slightly reddish. It measures 7 to 8 mm. Many hosts are known, among them sawflies associated with conifers and lepidopterans ( YU et al., 2012). First report for Belgium; unreported in the Netherlands.
