Netelia vinulae (Scopoli, 1763)

Netelia vinulae belongs to the subgenus Netelia . Both sexes have their head parallel behind the eyes with their stemmaticum brown to black and wing vein CU-A distal by 0.3. Our male specimen has at least 24 teeth on the hind tarsal claws, distinguishing it from other closely related species. Its mesonotum is not shiny and its propodeum is simple. The female is very robust with a rather long ovipositor. Its head is distinctly buccate, without a distinct ocularocellar gap. The temples are nearly as wide as the outer edge of the eyes. The propodeum is striated (DELRIO, 1975; BROAD, 2012).

First report for Belgium; unconfirmed in the Netherlands.
