Polysphincta longa Kasparyan, 1976 View in CoL
Polysphincta longa resembles P. boops , as mentioned above, but has more flagellomeres (28- 33 versus 25-28) and has a thicker pubescence on its mesoscutum (while very smooth in P. boops ). There is also some difference in size (see all details FRITZÉN & SHAW, 2014). Our specimen had well above 30 flagellomeres. As stated in the abovementioned publication, this species probably has been widely underreported due to its unclear morphological status and confusion with P. boops . First report for Belgium; unreported in the Netherlands.
