Tryphon latrator (Fabricius, 1781)

= syn. Tryphon auricularis Thomson, 1883 , synonymized by HORSTMANN (2001: 25)

Tryhon is a genus with several common species within Tryphonini , which is typified by having a more or less complete carination on the propodeum . Tryphon spp. characteristically have their 2m-cu vein in the fore wing with a strong zigzag and two bullae. The areolet is closed and their tarsal claws are simple ( TOWNES, 1969).

Tryhon latrator has a black face with longitudinal dorsal and other carinae distinct on the propodeum . Its vertex is relatively densely and coarsely punctate; while the second tarsal segment of the hind leg is longer than the fifth tarsal segment. Its trochanters have dark spots (FITTON, 1975). First report for the Netherlands; confirmed in Belgium.
