Rhadinodonta flaviger (Wesmael, 1845) View in CoL

Notes

With eight out of 13 countries newly reported as hibernating localities, this is another species with little historical data. It is moderately-sized and predominantly black, with the scutellum whitish laterally, but centrally black. This differs from R. rufidens , the other species in the genus in Europe, which has the scutellum completely black and the first three tergites red ( Rasnitsyn and Siitan 1981).
