Rhyssemus puncticollis Brown
R. puncticollis was resurrected a few years ago (Byk & Minkina 2014) after it was introduced from the US into Europe. SO, what we had as a synonym of a European species (R. germanus) turned out to be a native species that is now introduced into Europe!! Ain't taxonomy grand!!
