Description
Hemichroa australis can reach a length of about 7–8 millimetres (0.28–0.31 in). Head and thorax are bright red, while the mesopleuron and the abdomen are shiny black.[3]
This sawfly is similar to Hemichroa crocea, which has a bright orange abdomen and legs.
Larvae feed on alder (Alnus species) and birch (Betula species).[4]
Distribution
This species can be found in most of Europe.[5]
