Ichneumon melanotis Holmgren 1864

Description

Ichneumon melanotis Holmgren, 1864

Notes

Very similar to darker forms of I. molitorius. The red forms can be confused with, for example, some varieties of I. albiger. The only distinctive differences between I. melanotis and I. molitorius are the width of the hindtarsus and the absence or presence of the scopa (Hilpert 1992). As a consequence, ca. 15 records could not be included, although it is very likely the majority are I. melanotis. These records would contain new data for Denmark and the Netherlands.

Status: Confirmed.

Records: Austria (5), Belarus (5), Belgium (10), France (9), Germany (10), Norway (4) *, Romania (3), Russia (2), Sweden (1), United Kingdom (2).

First record: Ca. 1850-1856 (Holmgren (1864), Sweden).

Hibernacula: DT (64), DTCL (2), DV (3), LV (4), M (3), S (2), U (12).
