Males: yellow to orange abdomen, yellow scutellum, black wing with a yellow marking, lower calypter orange (Fig. 1 A). Females: black abdomen and scutellum, black wing with a yellow marking (Fig. 1 B). Female genitalia: sternite 7 as a trapezoidal plate, distal margin slightly rounded; sternite 8 lingulate, apically round; cercus subquadrate (Fig. 1 C). Biology Parasitised individuals of Nezara viridula were collected from leaves of Bosea yervamora (Amaranthaceae) in the localities of Puerto de La Cruz and Los Realejos (north of Tenerife) on 17 December 2022 (Fig. 1 D). Trichopoda pictipennis full-grown larva emerged on 22 December 2022 and pupariated outside its host. The adult emerged on 8 January 2023.
