(Figure 10 C–D)

Material: AK, Oslo: Malmøya, Solvik, 59.864711°N 10.751989°E ± 8m, 18 June 2020, leaves of Hieracium section Hieracium with aphids, 4L 2M, leg. HE & TS, coll. NHMO.

Biology: The orange-red larvae are free living predators on Aphis urticata Gmelin, 1790 and other species of aphids ( Hemiptera: Aphidoidea). The species appears to have a narrower host range than the previous one and is encountered more rarely (Harris 1973). Multivoltine; pupation and hibernation in the soil.

Distribution: Western Palearctic, central Asia and USA. Widespread in Europe including Norway, Sweden and Finland.
