Sphecidae (Hym., Aculeata) recorded from bark beetle pipe traps and some faunal notes from South Norway TORSTEIN KVAMME AND RUNE AXELSSON Kvamme, T. and Axelsson, R. 1983. Sphecidae (Hym., Aculeata) recorded from bark beetle pipe traps and some faunal notes from South Norway. Fauna norv. Ser. B. 30, 57 - 59. Eleven species of Sphecid wasps were recorded from bark beetle pipe traps. It is no reason to believe that the trapped specimens have responded to the synthetic bark beetle pheromones. Pemphredon lugens Dahlbom, 1842 and P.flavistigma Thomson, 1874, are presented new to the Norwegian fauna. Torstein Kvamme, Norsk institutt for skogforskning, Box 61, N·1432 As-NLH, Norway.
