Description

Polysphincta vexator Fitton, Shaw & Gauld, 1988 (FIgs 3, 2, 5)

M a t e r i a l. Romania: Suceava Country: Poiana Stampei, 13.08.1974, 1 ♀, 14.08.1974, 1 Ơ, 15.08.1974, 1 Ơ, 2 ♀, bog, 17.8.1974, 1 ♀ (? Pisică) (UAIC). No examined material from Ukraine .

D i s t r i b u t i o n. Europe (Yu et al., 2012): new record for Romania.

Remarks. Male specimen was identiFIed by C. Pisică as Glypta mensurator (Fabricius, 1775) (Banchinae) and one female specimen was identiFIed by C. Pisică as Zaglyptus varipes (Gravenhorst, 1829).According to key provided by M. Fitton and co-authors (1988) P. vexator has similar coloration with P. tuberosa, but differs in having unbanded subbasally hind tibiae and complete pleural carina (as in P. rufipes). Additionally, all the three species differ in sculpture of metasomal tergites II–IV (FIg. 3).
