Diagnosis

Black pterostigma, lancet (radix shorter than lamnium, 19–20 serrulae), and colouration of the abdomen (mostly yellowish or reddish with narrowing medio-dorsal black line) distinguish the females from the other Euura . Similar is also Nematus umbratus, which has fewer serrulae (13–16(17?)) and a different colour pattern of the abdomen. Males might not always be distinguishable from those of E. melanocephalus if colouration of mesepisternum is not stable (black in E. bohemani, dorsally pale in E. melanocephalus). It might not always be possible either to distinguish the males from those of E. cadderensis, E. ferruginea and E. kangasi, which can have a rather dark pterostigma.
