Pelecocera tricincta Meigen Differential diagnosis. Pelecocera tricincta is similar to P. pergandei as both have a shiny pleuron, narrow frons and yellow markings on abdomen of both sexes, but it differs from the latter by a yellow postpronotum (black in P. pergandei) and male with eyes approximating each other half way between antennal insertions and anterior ocellus (male of P. pergandei has almost parallel eye margins). Sack (1932) and Bartsch et al. (2009) provide a full description of the species. Distribution. Palaearctic species ranging from Fennoscandia south to Iberia; from Britain (southern England) eastwards through much of Europe (including Italy, northern parts of the Balkans) into European parts of Russia and the Caucasus, through Siberia to Cis-Baikal (Speight 2013).
