Hedychridium parkanense, Hungary

Postby piros » 15 Sep 2012 22:28

Hi Forum!
I found this wasp in Szeged, Hungary on Achillea millefolium inflorescense. Date: 28. 06. 2012. I don't really have a problem with its ID, I think it can not easily be misidentified :) , just thought it is such an unusual-looking Chrysidae you might like to see it. I have, however, a couple of questions: has this sp. collected outside of the Carpathian Basin? From what I could find out, it is very rarely collected anywhere, and it has been found only once in present-day Hungary at Siófok, near Lake Balaton (over 50 years ago?). Is this correct? (Paolo might know the answers to these questions.)

Best regards,

Henrik

Hi Henrik!

Super species 8-)

It should be more distributed in central and Eastern Europe. I collected some specimens in central Ukraine (Kanev Reserve) and some other specimens are known from Austria.
Other known records are only from the Carpathian Basin (Slovakia, Hungary).
It is a small species, probably often confused with H. monochroum in old collections. It could be more distributed Eastwards, but we need more data.

Cheers

Dear Paolo,
I've forgotten to check this post, so I thank you now for the info! It seems then that this is probaply an eastern "steppicole" species.

Best regards,

Henrik
