Colletes kaline Kuhlmann & Proshchalykin 2013

Kostylev [ZMMU]). Material examined. Turkmenistan: 2 ♂, Repetek [63 ° 10 'E 38 ° 34 'N], 23.V. 1974, leg. M. Kozlov [ZISP / RCMK]. Remarks. The male of C. kaline has been unknown and is described here for the first time based on specimens collected at the same locality and season as the female. The pilosity pattern of the male differed from that of C. morawitzensis Kuhlmann & Proshchalykin as predicted (Proshchalykin & Kuhlmann 2015 a). Diagnosis. Within the C. flavicornis -group the only male with an apically smooth and shiny, conspicuously raised clypeus known so far has been C. morawitzensis. As explained in the description of this species (Proshchalykin & Kuhlmann 2015 a) it is very unlikely that it is the male of two species only known from females that have a similarly formed clypeus, namely C. kaline Kuhlmann & Proshchalykin and C. pallipes Noskiewicz. Recently two male specimens with the characteristic raised clypeus became available for study that fit the body size and pilosity pattern expected for C. kaline. The male of C. kaline differs from C. morawitzensis by its larger body (9 mm instead of 7.5 mm), shorter malar area (medially about 1.2 times as long as width of mandible base; 1.5 times as long in C. morawitzensis), broader apical tergal hair bands and more extensive pilosity of short, appressed hair at the base of metasomal terga (Figs 5 b, c) compared to C. morawitzensis (Fig. 5 d). S 7 is apically distinctly broader (Fig. 5 e) than in C. morawitzensis. Description. Male. Bl = 9.0 mm. Head. Head slightly wider than long. Integument black except part of mandible dark reddish-brown. Face densely covered with long, white, erect hair. Malar area medially about as long as width of mandible base, finely striate, matt and sparsely covered with short appressed, white hairs. Clypeus apically smooth and shiny, conspicuously raised. Antenna black, ventrally dark yellowish-brown. Mesosoma. Integument black. Mesoscutal disc smooth and shiny between punctures; disc sparsely punctate (i = 2–3 d) with small punctures. Mesoscutellum almost impunctate,t with dense punctation on apical margin, surface smooth and shiny. Mesoscutum, mesoscutellum, metanotum, mesepisternum and propodeum covered with long, greyish-white erect hairs (Fig. 5 a). Wings. Slightly yellowish-brown; wing venation light yellowish-brown. Legs. Integument black to dark reddish-brown, tarsi dark yellowish-brown. Vestiture greyish-white. Metasoma. Integument black except depressed apical tergal margins yellowish translucent (Fig. 5 c). Most of T 1 and basal parts of T 2 –T 3 sparsely covered with short appressed, white hairs; T 1 and disc of T 2 additionally covered with long, white, erect hairs; apical tergal hair bands broad (Figs 5 b, c). Terga apically slightly depressed. Terga with very dense and fine punctation (i <0.5 d), slightly matt, smooth and shiny between punctures (Figs 5 b, c). Terminalia. Genitalia and S 7 as illustrated in Figs 5 e, f. Distribution.

No full textColletes jovel Kuhlmann & Proshchalykin, sp. nov. (Figs 2 a–d) Diagnosis. The female of C. jovel is very characteristic. Its large body size (13 mm) in combination with the fine, very dense punctation and pilosity pattern of metasomal terga (Fig. 2 d) is unique among species of the C. squamosus -group. In C. jovel the glabrous part of T1 is about as broad as the apical tergal hair band. In most other species of this group that are of similar size, T1 is either completely covered with short appressed hairs (C. comatoides Kuhlmann & Proshchalykin, C. comatus Noskiewicz, C. sellatus Morawitz) or the glabrous part is much narrower than the apical tergal hair band (C. rubellus Noskiewicz, C. rubripes Noskiewicz, C. skorikowi Noskiewicz). In C. squamulosus Noskiewicz the glabrous area is much more extensive but the apical tergal hair bands consist of conspicuous very short, scale-like hairs (much longer and more slender in C. jovel). Description. Female. Bl: 13.0 mm. Head wider than long. Integument black mandible mostly dark reddishbrown. Face except clypeus densely covered with long, yellowish-white, erect hairs, on vertex light brown (Fig. 2 b). Clypeus almost flat, with shallow longitudinal median depression, supraclypeal area rectangular and convex in profile. Clypeus relatively finely and very densely punctate (i <0.5d), particularly in the median depression, subapically slightly coarser and sparser punctate; surface between punctures smooth and shiny, small pair of apical clypeal depressions (Fig. 2 b). Malar area medially very narrow, about 1/5 as long as width of mandible base, finely striate. Antenna black, scape and flagellum ventrally reddish-brown (Fig. 2 b). Mesosoma. Integument black. Disc of scutum densely punctate (i = 0.5d), smooth and shiny between punctures. Scutellum anteriomedially impunctate, smooth and shiny; apically densely punctate (Fig. 2 c). Scutum, mesepisternum and propodeum densely covered with short light yellowish-white, erect, plumose hairs (Fig. 2 a, c). Wings. Slightly yellowish; wing venation dark brown. Legs. Integument reddish-brown. Vestiture whitish to yellowish-white, scopa yellowish-white (Fig. 2 a). Metasoma. Integument black to dark reddish-brown, depressed apical tergal margins reddish to yellowish translucent (Fig. 2 d). T1 on basal half densely covered with short appressed, yellowish-white hairs, apical half of disc glabrous, apical tergal hair band broad, medially slightly extended; T2 with broad basal hair band, glabrous disc about 2/3 as broad as the very broad apical tergal hair band; T3–T5 with broad apical tergal hair bands; terga apically very slightly depressed (Fig. 2 d). Terga very densely and finely punctate (i <0.5d), between punctures smooth and shiny (Fig. 2 d). Apical sternal hair bands broad. Male. Unknown. Type material (1 specimen). Holotype, female, Azerbaijan: 25–35 km E Nakhichevan [45°42´E 39°11´N], 7– 17.VII.1982, Yu. Pesenko (ZISP). Etymology. The name refers to the beauty of this species. In Masematte “ jovel ” means “beautiful” or “good” and is here used as a noun in apposition. Masematte is a regional sociolect or social dialect that was exclusively used in the poorer urban quarters of the city of Münster (NW Germany). It belongs to Rotwelsch which is a secret language of thieves, beggars and hustlers (Thieves´cant or Rogues´cant) primarily spoken in parts of Germany and Switzerland. General distribution. Only known from the type locality in Azerbaijan. Floral hosts.
