Ophion inclinans Johansson, 2019

This species was also only recently described. It is a smaller species (fore wing length 12 mm) with vein RS +2R not thickened. Its mesosoma and metasoma are testaceous. The sclerotised section of the first sternite is ending distinctly posterior to the spiracle. The hind femur is not particularly slender, but the subapical flagellomeres are narrow and long, more than two times as long as wide ( JOHANSSON & CEDERBERG, 2019). Our specimen is relatively small, which could be due to the use of alternative hosts (pers. comm. N. Johansson).

First report for Belgium; unreported in the Netherlands.
