R e m a r k
B. intercessor
is a highly variable species viewing its body length, several corporal measurements, sculpture of tergites and colour pattern. This high variability is well indicated by the fact that the different deviating forms were described as many as twenty species by a few authors (the most by SZÉPLIGETI). The Nees Collection (braconids etc.) was destroyed at the end of the second world war; in the case of the species
B. intercessor
is particularly needed in the designation of the
neotype
to promote its unambiguous distinction from its nearest allies.
