External morphology

Four slight lobes on outer edge, like ‘proto-palps’. 22 mm x 19 mm.

Parasitoid of French rolls and baguettes. Australian occlupanologist M. Ammon has observed that, “in this part of the world, V. amplusulcia is prevalent, and flourishes; never in association with bread-bags but very commonly found on other types of pastries.”
