COLOUR. Head( Figs179–180 View Figs 178–182 ) usually with more or less distinct dark green to bronze reflections.Mandibles reddish-yellow, teeth darker. Antenna ( Fig. 182 View Figs 178–182 ) with scape pale yellow to reddish-brown; pedicel pale yellow to brown; funicle uniformly brown or basally paler; clava, especially ventrally, slightly paler than funicle. Mesosoma ( Fig. 183–185 View Figs 183–188 ) reddish-yellow to reddish-brown. Legs reddish-yellow, except for brownish tips, or hind coxa lighter. Fore wing ( Fig. 186 View Figs 183–188 ) of macropterous and submacropterous forms usually with two large brownish spots, a larger one in middle of wing below marginal vein and a smaller one in apical quarter, the latter sometimes appearing divided into two smaller spots; setation brown. Metasoma with petiole as mesosoma ( Fig. 185 View Figs 183–188 ); gaster ( Figs 178 View Figs 178–182 , 187 View Figs 183–188 ) reddish-yellow to reddish-brown in basal half and light brown to dark brown in apical half; gt1 usually with two darker spots anterolaterally. Body setation pale except for several large, symmetrically arranged, dark brown setae.

Mesoscutum and axillae with extremely fine reticulation, appearing almost smooth ( Fig. 184 View Figs 183–188 ). Scutellar disc with sculpture as mesoscutum and longitudinally striate-reticulate on frenal area ( Figs 184–185 View Figs 183–188 ). Mesepisternum mainly weakly reticulate, almost smooth dorsally ( Fig. 183 View Figs 183–188 ). Mesepimeron smooth; mesepimeral sulcus indistinct ( Fig. 183 View Figs 183–188 ). Propodeum mainly smooth, with intricate pattern of carinae defining a central V-shaped area, interspaces smooth to slightly wrinkled ( Fig. 185 View Figs 183–188 ). Macropterous, submacropterous ( Fig. 178 View Figs 178–182 ) or brachypterous ( Fig. 187 View Figs 183–188 ).

Male (habitus: Fig. 189 View Figs 189–190 )
Differs from female mainly as follows. Body length: 1.0– 1.8 mm. Head sometimes without distinct metallic reflections ( Fig. 189 View Figs 189–190 ). Flagellum uniformly dark brown to black ( Fig. 190 View Figs 189–190 ). Mesosoma usually dark brown to black ( Fig. 189 View Figs 189–190 ), occasionally with reddish pronotal collar, propodeum and pleura. Gaster dark brown to black ( Fig. 189 View Figs 189–190 ) or with basal half lighter, light brown to reddish-brown. Propodeum more uniformly sculptured, mostly without a well-defined V-shaped area. Fu1 length 1.7–2.0 × width, other funicular segments subequal in length to fu1; combined length of pedicel plus flagellum 2.0–2.5× head width. Gaster (inflated) shorter than mesosoma, length 1.5–1.6 × width.
Distribution
China, Croatia, Czech Republic, Moldavia, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia ( Noyes 2018); Bulgaria, France, Greece, Italy (new records).
Remarks
Females of Netomocera setifera are distinct from those of all other species with a reduced petiole in having a well defined V-shaped area on the propodeum ( Fig. 185 View Figs 183–188 ). Together with males, they display mesosomal colour variation, which can range from yellowish to brown. Except for N. rufa , both sexes are also unique in having a long and wide pronotal collar ( Figs 183–184 View Figs 183–188 ).
