Olesicampe fulviventris (Gmelin, 1790)

Following the abovementioned O. binotata , this species similarly has no dorsolateral carinae, nor glymmae, and it is relatively large (around 8 to 9 mm). Specifically for O. fulviventris the hind tibiae are not black apically and its speculum is matt. There are probably unreported hosts in existence, or the host record is erroneous, because the supposed host Adscita geryon (Hübner, 1813) ( Lepidoptera : Zygaenidae ) (BIGNELL, 1898) is not known from this part of the country.

First report for the Netherlands; unconfirmed in Belgium.
