Posted - 06/04/2013 : 15:12:32 Thanks, Francesco. The Smithsonian website has a picture of the type of Menesida planifrons.
BTW, the name in the topic title is wrong. Should be planifrons. |

Posted - 06/04/2013 : 10:54:13 More exactly, it should belong to the genus Menesida. The difference with Menesia is the minute structure of the claws... another reason because the splitting Saperdini-Phytoecini is simply non-sense.![](images/icon_smile_wink.gif)
This species, with black antennae, except for the articles 6-7, is Menesida planifrons Tippmann, 1951. |

Posted - 05/04/2013 : 19:00:56 No, you right: it belongs to Saperdini, close to Menesia. |
