J. Ent. Res. Soc. 7(1): 1-39, 2005 ISSN:1302-0250 A Contribution to the Knowledge of Spheciformes from Turkey Part II. Ampulicidae, Sphecidae and Crabronidae (Bembicinae and Crabroninae) (Hymenoptera: Apoidea) * Severiano F. GAYUBO **Hikmet ÖZBEK * Universidad de Salamanca, Facultad de Biologia, Area de Zoologia, SPAIN e-mail: [email protected] ** Atatürk University, Faculty of Agriculture, Department of Plant Protection, 25240 Erzurum, TURKEY, e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The present work is based on study of the material collected in Turkey, predominantly in the eastern part of the country, thus continuing with the work begun in a previous article by Gayubo et al (2003). We report the results of the study of the Ampulicidae, Sphecidae and Crabronidae (Bembicinae and Crabroninae) (Apoidea) (sensu Melo, 1999). A total of 160 species are identified, of which the following are new records for the Turkish fauna: Didineis crassicornis Handlirsch, 1888, Nysson pratensis Mercet, 1909, Nysson tridens Gerstaecker, 1867, Nysson variabilis Chevrier, 1867, Lestiphorus bicinctus (Rossi, 1794), Stizus perrisi Dufour, 1838, Bembix sinuata Panzer, 1804 and Mellinus arvensis (L., 1758). Aditionally, N. pratensis, N. variabilis, B. snuata, and M. arvensis are also new record for the Asia continent. Further more, Bembecinus innocens (Beaumont, 1967) is endemic to Turkey. Key words: Spheciformes, Ampulicidae, Sphecidae, Crabronidae, Turkey, Middle East INTRODUCTION Hymenopterists, in particular, and entomologists, in general, are well aware of the Turkish insect fauna, propitiated by the privileged geographical situation of the country. This has been confirmed by the works published to date by Beaumont (1967, 1969), Roth (1967), Pulawski (1967) and, recently, Tüzün et al. (1999) and Gayubo et al. (2003). In this sense, it should be mentioned that we are still some way from having a complete knowledge of Spheciform species possibly existing in Turkey..

Bees and Wasps of the East Sussex South Downs
A SURVEY OF THE BEES AND WASPS OF FIFTEEN CHALK GRASSLAND AND CHALK HEATH SITES WITHIN THE EAST SUSSEX SOUTH DOWNS Steven Falk, 2011 A SURVEY OF THE BEES AND WASPS OF FIFTEEN CHALK GRASSLAND AND CHALK HEATH SITES WITHIN THE EAST SUSSEX SOUTH DOWNS Steven Falk, 2011 Abstract For six years between 2003 and 2008, over 100 site visits were made to fifteen chalk grassland and chalk heath sites within the South Downs of Vice-county 14 (East Sussex). This produced a list of 227 bee and wasp species and revealed the comparative frequency of different species, the comparative richness of different sites and provided a basic insight into how many of the species interact with the South Downs at a site and landscape level. The study revealed that, in addition to the character of the semi-natural grasslands present, the bee and wasp fauna is also influenced by the more intensively-managed agricultural landscapes of the Downs, with many species taking advantage of blossoming hedge shrubs, flowery fallow fields, flowery arable field margins, flowering crops such as Rape, plus plants such as buttercups, thistles and dandelions within relatively improved pasture. Some very rare species were encountered, notably the bee Halictus eurygnathus Blüthgen which had not been seen in Britain since 1946. This was eventually recorded at seven sites and was associated with an abundance of Greater Knapweed. The very rare bees Anthophora retusa (Linnaeus) and Andrena niveata Friese were also observed foraging on several dates during their flight periods, providing a better insight into their ecology and conservation requirements.

Checklist of the Spheciform Wasps (Hymenoptera: Crabronidae & Sphecidae) of British Columbia
Checklist of the Spheciform Wasps (Hymenoptera: Crabronidae & Sphecidae) of British Columbia Chris Ratzlaff Spencer Entomological Collection, Beaty Biodiversity Museum, UBC, Vancouver, BC This checklist is a modified version of: Ratzlaff, C.R. 2015. Checklist of the spheciform wasps (Hymenoptera: Crabronidae & Sphecidae) of British Columbia. Journal of the Entomological Society of British Columbia 112:19-46 (available at http://journal.entsocbc.ca/index.php/journal/article/view/894/951). Photographs for almost all species are online in the Spencer Entomological Collection gallery (http://www.biodiversity.ubc.ca/entomology/). There are nine subfamilies of spheciform wasps in recorded from British Columbia, represented by 64 genera and 280 species. The majority of these are Crabronidae, with 241 species in 55 genera and five subfamilies. Sphecidae is represented by four subfamilies, with 39 species in nine genera. The following descriptions are general summaries for each of the subfamilies and include nesting habits and provisioning information. The Subfamilies of Crabronidae Astatinae !Three genera and 16 species of astatine wasps are found in British Columbia. All species of Astata, Diploplectron, and Dryudella are groundnesting and provision their nests with heteropterans (Bohart and Menke 1976). Males of Astata and Dryudella possess holoptic eyes and are often seen perching on sticks or rocks. Bembicinae Nineteen genera and 47 species of bembicine wasps are found in British Columbia. All species are groundnesting and most prefer habitats with sand or sandy soil, hence the common name of “sand wasps”. Four genera, Bembix, Microbembex, Steniolia and Stictiella, have been recorded nesting in aggregations (Bohart and Horning, Jr. 1971; Bohart and Gillaspy 1985).

INTRODUCTION Crabronidae, commonly known as digger wasps, is a diverse and abundant family of Aculeata wasps, with over 8 891 nominal species in 249 genera and 8 subfamilies, occur worldwide but mainly in the tropics (Aguiar et al., 2013; Pulawski, 2018). Recent studies of the family significantly increased our knowledge of the existing biodiversity of Iranian crabronid wasps.

Conspectus of the Sphecid Wasps of Egypt (Hymenoptera: Ampulicidae, Sphecidae, Crabronidae)
Egyptian Journal of Natural History, 2007, Vol. 4, pp 12 - 149 © Printed in Egypt. Egyptian British Biological Society (EBB Soc) ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Conspectus of the Sphecid wasps of Egypt (Hymenoptera: Ampulicidae, Sphecidae, Crabronidae) C. Giles Roche* Lot 44, Taman Wong Wo Lo, Phase 1, Jalan Tun Mustapha, 87008 W.P. Labuan, MALAYSIA (Email: [email protected]) Historical background The sphecid wasps of Egypt and the Sinai have received much attention ever since Spinola wrote his paper in 1839 on the wasps collected by Fischer. He listed 29 species, all of which were described as new. The next main contribution was Walker’s unfortunate paper of 1871. His descriptions were seriously inadequate and his type material has disappeared, destroyed by dermestids (Innes 1912). Thus of the 27 species he created, 22 are unidentifiable and are, therefore, mere lumber in the literature. Next was Kohl’s paper of 1897 in which he dealt with the material collected by Schmiedeknecht: a number of species have as their type locality “Adelen Inseln”, which is now known to be an island in the Nile opposite Dahshour (see Morice 1900a). A few more species were added to the Egyptian list by Morice (1897a,b) and Storey (1916). Egyptian sphecidology received its main boost in the 1930s and 1940s which saw a whole series of papers by Mochi & Mochi (1937), Mochi (1939a, b & c and 1940), Honoré (1941a & b, 1942, 1944a & b) and Alfieri (1946), all of them long-term residents in Egypt and most being considerable collectors. De Beaumont published two papers on Tachysphex in 1940 and 1947 that greatly assisted the determination of that difficult genus.
