(Mit 2 Tafeln.) (Vorgelegt in der Sitzung am 4. Juli 1895.) I. Nachträge. Im Laufe der seit dem Erscheinen des 1. Theiles meiner Monographie verflossenen acht Jahre hat sich, wie es in der Natur ähnlicher Arbeiten liegt, eine Reihe von Nachträgen an- gesammelt. Sendungen aus den Museen in Berlin, Budapest, Brüssel, Genua, Hamburg und Leyden und aus den Sammlungen der Herren H. de Saussure, Dr. A. v. Schult- hess Rechberg, General 0. Radoszkowsky, Dr. F. Mora- witz, A. Schletterer, Dr. P. Magretti, Prof. A. Costa, L. Fairmaire, Dr. Gazagnaire, F. Sickmann und vielen Anderen lieferten, zusammen mit den reichen neuen Acquisi- tionen unseres Hofmuseums, ausser einer grösseren Zahl ganz neuer Formen, auch mehrere mir seinerzeit nicht bekannte Arten und Varietäten, sowie Daten für die geographische Ver- breitung und Synonymie. In zweiter Linie sollen zu den Nachträgen auch die von anderen Autoren in zerstreuten Schriften niedergelegten, theils neueren, theils übersehenen Beiträge zur Kenntniss der mit Nysson und Bembex verwandten Grabwespen kritisch verwerthet werden, um so die ganze in sieben Theilen erschienene Mono- graphie mit dem Jahre 1894 zu einem einheitlichen Abschlüsse zu bringen.

  • 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).

A MARANTE Abstract A synonymyc catalogue for the species of Neotropical Crabronidae and Sphecidae is presented, including all synonyms, geographical distribution and pertinent references. The catalogue includes 152 genera and 1834 species (1640 spp. in Crabronidae, 194 spp. in Sphecidae), plus 190 species recorded from Nearctic Mexico (168 spp. in Crabronidae, 22 spp. in Sphecidae). The former Sphecidae (sensu Menke, 1997 and auct.) is divided in two families: Crabronidae (Astatinae, Bembicinae, Crabroninae, Pemphredoninae and Philanthinae) and Sphecidae (Ampulicinae and Sphecinae). The following subspecies are elevated to species: Podium aureosericeum Kohl, 1902; Podium bugabense Cameron, 1888.

  • A Contribution to the Knowledge of Spheciformes from Turkey Part II
    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.

  • Revision of Bembecinus (Hymenoptera: Crabronidae) of the Palaearctic Region
    N F D G Notes fauniques de Gembloux 2004 54, 3-69 Revision of Bembecinus (Hymenoptera: Crabronidae) of the Palaearctic region Dr Christian Schmid-Egger (1) (1) Kirchstr. 1 – 82211 Herrsching (Germany). E-Mail : [email protected] The Palaearctic Bembecinus are revised. Fifty-one species and 2 subspecies are recognized. The revision includes keys to species identification, diagnoses, descriptions, and illustrations of important characters. Thirteen new species and 1 subspecies are described: Bembecinus adeni (Yemen, Oman), asiaticus iranicus ssp. n. (southern Palaearctic Asia), birecikensis (Turkey), guichardi (Turkey, Iran), heinrichi (Turkey), henseni (Turkey), khuzestani (Iran), mhamidus (western Sahara), niehuisi (Israel, Syria), nigrolabrum (Turkey), priesneri (Sudan), remanei (Sudan), schlaeflei (Morocco), urfanensis (Turkey). Six new synonyms are established: touareg de Beaumont = argentifrons (F. Smith); tridens errans de Beaumont = tridens (Fabricius); dentipes Gussakovskij = acanthomerus (Morice); diacanthus de Beaumont = validior Gussakovskij; cyprius creticus de Beaumont = rhodius de Beaumont; tridens mongolicus Tsuneki = tridens cyanescens (Radoszkowski). For the following species, the status is restored or changed: Bembecinus cyanescens Radoszkowski = tridens cyanescens (Radoszkowski), revindicatus anatolicus de Beaumont = anatolicus de Beaumont, cyprius rhodius de Beaumont = rhodius de Beaumont. A brief zoogeographic analysis is given. With 24 of 51 species, Bembecinus shows a remarkable share of endemic species. Turkey displays the highest species diversity with 20 species. Key words: Hymenoptera, Sphecidae, Crabronidae, Bembecinus, taxonomy, systematics, identification keys. 1. INTRODUCTION Peninsula and Morocco. B. carinatus is included in the key, but not treated as European species. Bembecinus Costa, 1859, is a worldwide genus including 175 described species (Bohart, 1997, Bohart The aim of the present paper is a revision of & Menke 1976).

    : A GENERIC REVISION OF THE FOSSORIAL WASPS OF THE TRIBES STIZINI AND BEMBICINI, WITH NOTES AND DESCRIPTIONS OF NEW SPECIES By John Bernard Parker Professor of Biology, CathoUc University of America INTRODUCTION The wasps comprising the subfamily, Bembicinae, as that sub- family is herein understood, have always been regarded by authori- ties on the Hymenoptera as forming two well-defined groups, the tribes Stizini and Bemhieini of the present paper, but the taxonomic position assigned to the two groups within the family or super- family (Sphecidae or Sphecoidea) by the various authorities has not been uniform. Some, as for example, Ashmead, who, in his scheme of classification, attached great importance to the number of tibial spurs on the second leg, separated these two groups widely; but others, as Cresson, Fox, Kohl, and Rohwer, have considered them closely related and as forming subdivisions of a larger group, al- though these authorities differ from one another as to the rank these subdi;visions should be given. In accepting the subfamily referred to above I am following the classification adopted by J. H. Com- stock in his work, An Introduction to Entomology, published in 1924. The genus Sphecius, which was long included in the tribe, Stizini, does not belong there, as Rohwer has pointed out.^ Consequently that genus is not considered in this revision. In a preceding paper,^ in which I undertook the revision of the BeTTibicini for North America north of Mexico, it was shown that within that region this tribe is represented by the following genera Bemhix Fabricius, Microhemhex Patton, Bicyrtes Latreille {=Be7n- hidxda Burmeister), Steniolia Say, Stictia Illiger, and Stictiella Parker.

Wasps interact with horseflies demonstrating outstanding behavior, interrupting the hematophagism, which enhances tabanids ability to transmit pathogenic agents to natural hosts.
