Diadocidia ferruginosa |
| Subspecies Previously, Diadocidia thoracica has been regarded as a "form" or subspecies of the present species, but is now regarded as a separate species (Lastovka and Matile, 1972). No subspecies are recognized. Original description Synonyms Mycetobia ferruginosa Meigen, 1830 Diadocidia ferruginosa
(Meigen, 1830)
Diadocidia
flavicans Ruthe, 1831Diadocidia ferruginosa ferruginosa (Meigen, 1830) Macronevra winthemi Macquart, 1834 Identification Distribution Widely distributed in Europe and recorded from almost all countries. In Asia the species is known from several places in south western, central and north eastern Asia. The species is also reported from Canada and the USA, but the American specimens are most likely not conspecific with Diadocidia ferruginosa. Lastovka and Matile (1972) suggest that the American specimens belong to Diadocidia spinosula or a closely related species (probably a separate new species).
