Figures 2 View FIGURE 2 and 3 View FIGURE 3 show the dorsal and lateral views of females and males of Amegilla quadrifasciata (European mainland), A. maderae ( Madeira Archipelago) and A. teneriffensis ( Canary Islands). Amegilla quadrifasciata ( Figures 2a, 2b View FIGURE 2 ; 3a, 3b View FIGURE 3 ) has light brownish, partly yellowish, reddish mesoscutum hairs. The mesepisternum and the tergite bands are whitish to ivory.
