Ophion crassicornis Brock, 1982 View in CoL

Another large species (fore wing length 15–16 mm and 57–61 flagellomeres). It can be especially confused with O. borealis Johansson, 2019 . However, O. crassicornis has a distance between the tentorial pits and compound eyes that is smaller than the distance between the cavities, while this distance is almost equal in O. borealis . Additionally, the sides of the scutellum in the known specimens are usually paler than the rest of the scutellum, while they are concolorous in O. borealis ( JOHANSSON & CEDERBERG, 2019) .

First report for Belgium and the Netherlands.
