Note: Urocerus tardigradus and Urocerus fantoma have long been regarded
as synonyms and still are by some authors. The status of tardigradus
requires clarification; it might fall as a synonym of fantoma, but
until more data is available I regard it as a bona species.
Identification
Distribution
Not yet recorded from Germany, but the species is
frequently confused with Urocerus fantoma (of which it might be a
synonym) and thus the exact distribution is not clear. It is possible
that some German records of Urocerus fantoma actually refer to Urocerus
tardigradus.
