Name
Elampus foveatus (Mocsáry, 1914) – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Ellampus foveatus Mocsáry, 1914: 1.
- Elampus foveatus: Kimsey and Bohart 1991[1]: 168.
Diagnosis
Length 5–8 mm. The species can be confused with Elampus constrictus and Elampus panzeri, but the apical truncation of T3 has rounded margins ventrally and resembles a thick, upside-down U in shape (Fig. 46). The lateral margins of T3 are similar to Elampus constrictus (Fig. 40). The punctation of T2 is somewhat more irregular than in Elampus constrictus, and usually an impunctate medial line is formed anteriorly. The scrobal carina ends below the angle of the omaulus (Fig. 43) as in Elampus panzeri. The head and mesosoma are blue or greenish, and the metasoma is red with green reflections in both sexes.
Distribution
Estonia, Finland, Norway, Sweden. Rare. – Trans-Palearctic: from the Netherlands to Siberia (Usolye-Sibirskoye). The distribution is still poorly known, because many authors have confused Elampus foveatus with other closely related taxa.
Biology
Habitat: sparsely vegetated sandy areas. In Germany, specimens have been found on Sambucus bushes (Niehuis and Gauss 1996[2]). Flight period: May to July. Host: unknown.
