Aoplus ochropis (GMELIN, 1790) View in CoL
M a t e r i a l e x a m i n e d: Trap4: 1♀ 5-19.x.
Remark: This ♀ differs from typical European specimens by its dark coloration: head and mesosoma including legs and metasoma black; only flagellum with ivory ring and 6 th tergite with small and 7 th tergite with large ivory spots. It is otherwise typical and differs from A. lugubris (BERTHOUMIEU) by a large scopa on hind coxa.
This melanistic color pattern resembles A. ochropis coloradensis HEINRICH, 1962 from the Nearctic region and might occur preferably in specimens from higher altitudes.
D i s t r i b u t i o n: Holarctic and Oriental, new record for Georgia and the Caucasus region.
