Hi pierred,

The scutellata group (I thought there was something like that, but it might be just something I made up :S) is artificial just like the pagana group. I referred to the scutellata group as the species with yellow humeri and top of scutellum. Those being in North-West Europe C. scutellata, C. sorror and C. longula. Of those three only C. sorror has a bright red third antennae segment.

Greetings,

Ectemnius
