Olesicampe sternella (Thomson, 1887) (Fig. 16)

Olesicampe sternella has a lower tooth of the mandible that is longer than the upper tooth, the tegulae are white and the dorsolateral carinae and glymmae are present on the first tergite. The metasoma is partly red, basal and apical tergites are black. The basal flagellomeres are light brown ventrally. The hind coxae are black, the trochanters yellow, the femora red and the tibiae yellow brown. Only one host is known: the rather rare lepidopteran Amphipoea oculea (Linnaeus, 1761) ( Lepidoptera : Noctuidae ) ( TÖLG, 1912).
