Taxonomic Note
Thereva diversa was described by Daniel William Coquillett in 1894. The specific epithet 'diversa' (Latin for 'diverse' or 'different') suggests this was distinguished from by some notable morphological variation, though the original description would need to be consulted for specific diagnostic features.
