Thank you Marco Selis for identifying this species for us General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere ~14mm long. We thought this was an Abispa sp. Marco said "Anterhynchium (Epiodynerus) nigrocinctum nigrocinctum is the complete name, as in Eastern Indonesia occurs the subspecies Anterhynchium nigrocinctum meraukense. The differences are very slight and involve only the extension of orange pattern, they are just variations in my opinion." | |||||
