A member of the D. cereolus species group, which includes also D. venustus de Beaumont, 1957, D. cereolus Morice, D. pulawskii de Beaumont, 1960, D. nabataeus de Beaumont, 1960, D. porcellaneus Guichard, 1980 and is characterized by having the apex of the marginal cell and second section of the cubital vien of the subdiscoidal cell oblique (Fig. 12); females (and males except D. venustus) have smooth and shiny head and mesosoma with very sparse microscopic points and setae (except spots of appressed silvery pubescence) (Figs 8–11; 14–16); males have flagellomere I elongate, comparable in length with the scape. From all species of the cereolus group, it differs by its greater ocellocular distance (Fig. 9 vs Fig. 17) and dark coloration (mid and hind femora completely black; metasoma black with white lateral spots only on tergum 2).

Head slightly wider than long; labial palpi not modified; temples with small unnoticeable pubescence posteriorly; pronotal carina weakly lamellate; pronotum laterally 1.5× as long as tegula length; tegula 0.8× as long as scutellum length, its outer margin evenly rounded posteriorly; ventral mesepisternum with large and sparse punctures, interstices exceed diameter of punctures and have distinct microsculpture; metanotum sharply truncated posteriorly; propodeal concavity not sharply edged laterally; hind trochanter rounded posteriorly; tergum 1 with distinct punctures; apical lamella of tergum 2 weakly sclerotized, semitransparent, with row of tiny basal punctures. Among other species of the genus Leptochilus de Saussure, 1853 occurring in Russia and neighboring countries, the new species is somewhat similar to L. (Lionotulus) alpestris de Saussure, 1855 [the latter have the head somewhat longer than wide, pronotal carina not lamellate, pronotum laterally nearly 2× as long as tegula length, punctures on ventral mesepisternum denser (interstices not exceed diameter of punctures), and propodeal concavity sharply edged laterally].

Odontosphex leleji Mokrousov & Proshchalykin 2021
No full textOdontosphex leleji Mokrousov & Proshchalykin (2021) (Figs 89–94) Material examined: 1♁ United Arab Emirates, 15.vii.2015, Abu Dhabi, Al Wathba, leg. A.S & AvH, in malaise trap (CSE). Remark. Odontosphex is a small and rarely collected genus with six described species worldwide. The genus and its taxonomic position were restudied by Bohart and Menke (1976), who placed the genus in its own tribe Odontosphecini within the subfamily Philanthinae. Melo (1999) placed the genus into the subfamily Pemphredoninae, tribe Psenini. Recently, Sann et. al. (2018) confirmed this result and placed the genus as a sister group of Psenini in their new family Psenidae, based on genetic data. Recently, Mokrousov & Proshchalykin (2021) described a new species, O. leleji from Turkmenistan, and gave a key to species and further description of the genus. A single male of Odontosphex, collected in 2015 in the UAE and first recognized as an undescribed species, agrees with the description of O. leleji and confirms the occurence of the species in Arabia. Distribution: Turkmenistan and UAE. Bohart & Menke (1974) mentioned females of O. bidens Arnold, 1951 from Saudi Arabia, and Pulawski (1991) from Iran (Haft Tapeh 300 km N Abadan) and Pakistan (Faisalabad; both in CAS), which “possibly are bidens ”. They most probably also refer to O. leleji. O. bidens was described from Mauritania and is only known from West Africa. The third old world species, O. damara Pulawski, 1991 is only known from Namibia and will not occur in the Palearctic or Saharan region. Recognition: The species was compared with a ♁ of O. bidens from Mali (5 km E Hombori, 17.xiii.1991, leg. M. Schwarz, coll. CSE). Both males differ by the characters given in Tab. 2.
