features
The wasps have a body length of 10 to 13 millimeters (females) or 9 to 12 millimeters (males). The animals are colored black. The thighs ( femora ) of the two rear pairs of legs are more thickened in females than in males. The splints ( tibia ) are thorny. The forewings have two discoidal cells and two cubital cells. The side fields of the propodeum are matt. The second tergite is basally provided with a stepped edge behind the ribbed furrow.
Occurrence and way of life
The species is widespread in North Africa, Southern Europe and rarely in Central Europe and England. It flies from the beginning of April to the end of July. The larvae parasitize the larvae of the southern cereal tree beetle ( Anisoplia austriaca ) and Amphimallon solstitialis .
