Key to colour morphs of Physocephala vittata ( Fabricius, 1794) View in CoL
1 Pleura with distinct areas of dense dusting................................................................ 2
- Pleura without distinct areas of dense dusting.............................................................. 4
2 Dusting on pleura restricted to a spot dorsally on the katepisternum, anepisternum without dense dusting................................................................................ vittata View in CoL , colour morph maculigera Kröber, 1915
- Dusting on the pleura forming a band that reaches more or less up the anepisternum to close to the notopleuron........... 3
3 Darker specimens: male: with at least epandrium black, and usually the apical segments of abdomen mainly black coloured; female: tergite 3 with a black band............................................ colour morph truncata Loew, 1847
- Lighter specimens: male: epandrium orange-brown like the rest of the abdomen; female: tergite 3 with a pair of black markings......................................................... vittata View in CoL , colour morph pseudomaculigera Kröber, 1915
4 Tergite 4 shining, without a distinctly dusted hind margin................... vittata View in CoL , colour morph detecta Becker, 1913
- Tergite 4 with a distinct broad dusted hind margin........................................................... 5
5 Dark specimens with black postcoxal bridge and thorax more or less completely black with the exception of the postpronotum.................................................................. vittata View in CoL , colour morph fraterna ( Loew, 1847)
- Lighter specimens with postcoxal bridge reddish orange and thorax paler with at most the mesoscutum black, and the pleura mostly reddish orange................................................................................. 6
6 Abdomen with distinct black markings; black colouration of mesoscutum not divided to three large black spots........................................................................................ vittata View in CoL , typical colour morph
- Abdomen more or less completely orange brown, at most with small pairs of black spots on tergites but not with black bands; black colouration of mesoscutum reduced and divided to three large black spots................................................................................................... vittata View in CoL , colour morph abdominalis Kröber, 1915 View in CoL
