Olesicampe patellana (Thomson, 1887)

Just like O. binotata and O. fulviventris this species belongs to the complex which does not have dorsolateral carinae or glymmae on the petiole. In contrast to the latter species, the hind tibiae are black apically. Furthermore, the femora are black as well. The shape of the pedicellus (second antennal segment) is unique; lenticular. The hosts are unknown.

First report for the Netherlands; unconfirmed in Belgium.
