Didineis mokrousovi Schmid-Egger 2022, sp. nov.
No full textDidineis mokrousovi Schmid-Egger, sp. nov. (Figs 1–8) Holotype. ♁, United Arab Emirates, Wadi Bih (dam), 19.i.2010, leg. AvH (CSE). Paratypes: 1 ♁, 4.iv.2009, 1♀, 29.xi.2009. 1♀, 11.ii.2010, 1♀, 2.v.2006, all Wadi Bih (dam); ♀, 29.xi.2009, Al Wathba Wetland Reserve; 1 ♁ 1 ♀, 22.06.2019, Al Bida’a Protected Area, all leg. AS &AvH, in Malaise traps (CSE). Remark: In former reviews of Crabronidae from the UAE (Schmid-Egger, 2011, 2014), specimens of Didineis from Wadi Bih were identified as D. bucharica with the key of Nemkov (2015). In the meantime, we could examine two males and two females of true D. bucharica from Russia, Kalmykia (see Mokrousov et al. (2016) for location and discussion of species). The specimens from the UAE differ in some important details from the Russian specimens, and belong to an undescribed species. A male was choosen as the holotype, because the description of D. bucharica is also based on a male. D. bucharica is restricted in its distribution to southern Russia (Dagestan, Kalmykia and Orenburg Prov.) and to Uzbekistan. Diagnosis. Males of both species are characterized by short and thick flagellomeres, flagellomere I beeing emarginate below. Remaining species have longer and normally rounded flagellomeres. Females of both species have also short and thick flagellomeres, but they share this character with other species from North Africa. See also Nemkov (2015) for further details. For distincion of D. bucharica and D. mokrousovi, see Table 1. . Description of male, holotype (copied and modified from description in Schmid-Egger, 2011). Body length 6 mm. Colour: Black, yellow are: basal 2/3 of mandible, clypeus, large band on inner eye margin, ending in upper 2/3, scape and flagellum below, AS 13, pronotal lobe, basal spot on basal sclerite of forewing. Femora and tibiae reddish, tarsi partly reddish, mostly brown. Wing venation brown, forewing greyish with some darker parts below stigma. Tergum I except base and tergum II laterally red, remaining terga black, last tergum apically somewhat reddish. Morphology: Apical clypeal margin slightly emarginate medially. Flagellum see Figs 2 and 3. Frons, pronotum, mesonotum and upper half of mesopleuron finely punctate, punctures 1–3 diameters apart, interspaces shiny. Punctuation of lower frons very dense. Lower mesopleuron rugulose-punctate. Propodeal surface evenly striate, propodeal enclosure triangular, surrounded by fine keel. Propodeum laterally and on backside rugulose. Terga II–V: basally shiny and with very fine micropunctation, apically punctate with shiny interspaces. Tergum VII densely punctate, apically truncate. Description of female: Body length 8.0 mm. Colour. Black, yellow are basal 2/3 of mandible, clypeus except for basal and lateral margin, narrow band along lower half of inner eye margin, scape below, last tarsomeres. Red are fore tibia, outer side of mid tibia, terga and sternum I and II, tergum II with black apical margin, apex of tergum VI. Wings as in male. Morphology: Flagellum: see fig. 6. Punctuation of head and thorax similar as in male, but much denser. Terga I and II shiny, impunctate, terga III–V similar as in male. Tergum VI in apical half surrounded by keel, forming a large pygidial plate with dense punctuation in apical half and with dense reddish setae. All femora below with long pale setae (2/3 as long as femoral diameter). Distribution. United Arab Emirates. Etymology. The species is dedicated to Mikhail Mokrousov from Nizhny Novgorod, Russia, a specialist of Aculeata, who kindly supported this and other projects of the author by sending specimens and information.Published as part of Schmid-Egger, Christian & Harten, Antonius Van, 2022, Additions to the digger wasps (Hymenoptera, Spheciformes) of the United Arab Emirates with description of ten new species, pp. 543-575 in Zootaxa 5219 (6) on pages 544-546, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5219.6.3, http://zenodo.org/record/743623
Ammatomus grandcourti Schmid-Egger 2019
No full textAmmatomus grandcourtiSCHMID-EGGERnov.sp. (figs 9-13) Ammatomus rufonodis in SCHMID- EGGER (2011: 490). Holotype: female United Arab Emirates, 11-19.iii.2009 Waidi Maidaq 25.31N (leg. et coll. CSE, as A. rufonodis in Schmid-Egger 2011). Paratypes: Sudan female 4.xi.1961, Ed Damer, Hudeiba, leg. Reimann, det as A. rufonodis by W. Pulawski (CSE); female Yemen, 6.iii.2013, Sana, University Campus, leg. Halada (OLL); Israel male 10.vi.1995 Arava Valley, Iddan 30̕48̕N 35̕16̕E (leg. et coll CSE). R e m a r k: A. grandcourti keys out with A. rufonodis with the key of PULAWSKI (1973), but differs in some important characters from the latter. The female occurs in two colour forms, each with black and with a red colour on T 1. This variation is unique among the here treated species. D i a g n o s i s: A. grandcourti (together with A. rufonodis) has a longer T 1 as A. saharicus. The species differ from the similar A. rufonodis mainly by a narrower yellow band on T 1, with a larger apical transparent margin of T 1, T 3 and T 4. The transparent margin is in average as wide as tergal bands, and distinctly wider in A. rufonodis. The male of A. grandcourti has also a somewhat longer T 1 compared to A. rufonodis (1.8x versus 1.6x). See also key for remaining characters. Males of A. rufonodis from Oman have yellow band of T 1 narrower than in specimens from Central Asia and Turkey. They differ from the male of A. grandcourti mainly by the lemon yellow colour, what is whitish-yellow in A. grandcourti, and by the remaining key characters. D e s c r i p t i o n o f h o l o t y p e, f e m a l e: Body length 8.5 mm. Colour: Black, whitish yellow are: Clypeus, space below antennal socket, short band on lower eye margin, AS I-II, underside of apical half of AS III, pronotal lobe, narrow band on apcial pronotal margin, connecting pronotal lobes, spot each on mesoscutum laterally in apical corner, metanotum, basal spot on tegula, apical band on T 1, medially with Vshaped interruption, bands on T 2- T 5, large band on S2, medially with large V-shaped interruption. Mandible basally black, followed by white spot, medially red and in apical third black. Labrum red. Antenna red, medial AS brown above. Trochanter, coxa, T 1 apart apical yellow band, T 2 laterally, S2 medially red. Fore and midleg: femora red with white band below in apical half, tibiae basally white, apically red, tarsomeres white with reddish apex. Hind femur red, hind tibia basally below red, basally above white, black apical half. Hindtarsomeres I-IV white, I-III with red apex, hindtarsomere V with white base, remaining part and claws black. Wing venation reddish, wings transparent, basal sclerite of forewing red with white mark. Morphology: Face including clypeus and vertex, mesopleuron and propodem with dense, silver pilosity. Propodeal dorsum without pilosity. T 1 1.5x, mesoscutum with coarse puncture, punctures 0,2 - 2 diameters apart. Tergites with dense punctation, similar to that of mesoscutum. For details of T 1, see figure. V a r i a t i o n o f f e m a l e s. Body length: 10 (Sudan) and 8 mm (Yemen). In both paratype females, red colour of T 1 and S1 is replaced by black, apart from some red on T 1 laterally. In female from Yemen, red colour of legs is also replaced by black. AS VI-XII are mainly red without dark in female from Sudan, and AS IV-X all black in female from Yemen. D e s c r i p t o n o f m a l e: Body length 8.5 mm. In morphology, the males agree with the females, apart from longer T 1 (1.8x). Colour whitish-yellow, without any red. Scutellum and AS III-XII black, mesonotal spot small. Large transparent impressed margins on T 2- T 4, as wide as tergal band. Transition between tergal disc and impressed margin crenulate. E t h y m o l o g y: The species is dedicated to Edwin Mark Grandcourt, a fisheries and marine scientist of the Marine Assessment & Conservation Section of the Environment Agency ̅ Abu Dhabi, who passed away in 2018 at the young age of 49.

R e m a r k: A detailed examination of specimens formerly identified as A. rufonodis with the key of PULAWSKI (1973) revealed that A. rufonodis consists of three species. Recognition is based mainly on shape of T1, and in details of colour pattern. Each species has a different distribution area: A. saharae in Algeria, A rufonodis s.str. in Turkey, Central Asia and Oman and A. grandcourti in Arabia, Israel and Sudan, with the exception of a small overapping of A rufonodis and A. grandcourti in Oman. There are some similarities with the A. mesostenus-lineage, which is divided into four species, and each species also with a different distribution areas (and some overlapping). D i a g n o s i s:See A. grandcourti and A. saharae for recognition of the species. D i s t r i b u t i o n: Turkey, Armenia, Central Asia (PULAWSKI 1973), Oman. P r e y: Ali Al-Jahdhami (pers. comm.) observed a predation of Dubas Bugs (Ommatissus lybicus, Homoptera: Tropiduchidae), what is a common pest on date palms in Oman.Published as part of Schmid-Egger, Christian, 2019, Review oI the genus Ammatomus A.

No full textFerreola pseudodenticulata SCHMID- EGGER nov.sp., figs 45-50 Holotype: Oman, female, 14.iii. 201510 km SESur, leg. M. Snizek (OLL). Paratypes: Oman, 2 females 15.iii.2015 17 km W Sur, leg. M. Snizek (OLL); female 6.x.2013; 1 male 14.iii.2015 20 km SW Sur leg. M. Snizek (OLL); female Dhofar prov., Rakhyut 16’45’’N 63’24’’E, leg. J. Halada (OLL); male 7.ix.2007 Oman, Dhufar, Wadi Al Mugsayi, leg. A. Jaki (OLL). Diagnosis: F. pseudodenticulata resembles F. denticulata andcanberecognized by a partly smooth propodeal declivity, which is distinctly striate in F. denticulata. This character is more varible in both examined males, however F. denticulata has always more distinct striae than F. pseudodenticulata, which reach the upper margin of declivity (or nearby). Also, F. pseudodenticulata is in average somewhat smaller as F. denticulata. Description of female: Holotype: Bodylength 16 mm. Colour: Orange yellow are: head except black U-formed spot around ocelli, pronotum except lateral declivity, mesoscutum, tegula, metanotum except lateral and apical margin. Mandible, apical clypeal margin and malar space brown. Antenna and spot below antenna black. Remaining body black, wings infuscate, black, with weak violett shimmer. Yellow parts of mesosoma with very week and scattered short pubescence. Morphology: Apical clypeal margin widely rounded. Malar space narrow, as long as half hindocellar diameter. Vertex (dorsal view) as wide as diameter of FG III. Gena as wide as diameter of FG I. SMC II above als long as SMC III, below somewhat shorter than SMC III. Declivity of propodem separated by propodeal dorsum by keel-like edge, medially and laterally with large tooth. Declivity somewhat hollowed out, its upper half smooth with some microstructure, lower half with some indistinct striae. Mesopleuron near border to metapleuron and lower outer area on propodeum laterally with some striae. Metanotum apcio-medially somewhat impressed. Variability in female paratypes: Bodylength 13.5-16 mm. Agree with holotype, apart from the length of SMC III what is above in all paratypes smaller as SMC II. Striation of propodeal declivity is variable, but reaches maximal the upper third of declivity. Striae are never as long and distinct as in F. dimidiata. De s c r i p t i o n o f m a l e: Body length 9 mm and 13 mm. The male agree in all details with the females, with the exception of male characteristics (antenna, last sternites).

Liebig, coll. Liebig and CSE. R e m a r k: The genus Cryptocheilus is under revision by the senior author. There is no key for species from Iran available, and species can only be recognized by original descriptions. D i a g n o s i s: The female of C. schakuhensis nov.sp. is characterized by colour pattern. It is all black with lateral white spots on T2 and a medial white spot on T4. Inner eye margin has a small white spot. This colour pattern is unique among Cryptocheilus species from the palearctic region. The male is all black, with lower inner eye margin white, and innerside of foretibia orange-red. Wing colour is distinctive: Wings are yellowish-grey infuscate, with wing apex dark with violet shimmer. D e s c r i p t i o n f e m a l e: Body length 13.5 mm. Colour: Black, the following parts whitish (with some yellow tinge): Small round spot on inner eye margin medially, small irregular spot near hindmargin of mesoscutum, large triangular spots on T2 laterally, large oval spot on T4 medially. Mandible medially and foretibia apically with some red. Wings infumate yellowish-greyish, apex dark. Apical clypeal margin emarginated in whole width. Metapostnotum narrow. Propodeum with fine, crosswise striation. Tergites without punctures. Otherwise similar to Crypocheilus elegans. V a r i a t i o n i n f e m a l e s p a r a t y p e s: Paratypes are smaller, 9.5-11.0 mm, and agree otherwise with holotype. D e s c r i p t i o n m a l e: Body length 11.5 mm. Black, large triangular band on inner eye margin (between antennal socket and clypeus) whitish. Innerside of foretibia and small spot on apex of forefemora reddish. Clypeus laterally, lower mesopleuron and coxa with thin silver pubescence. Wings as in females, but contrast between greyyellowish part and dark apex is more distinct as in females. Metapostnotum 0.6x as long as metatnotum, with some distinct rugae. Striation of propodeum coarser as in females. S8 flat, with indistinct medial keel, apically truncate, with a row of short setae around margin in apical half of S8. Genital see fig. 17, SGP see fig. 18.

Ferreola tunesiensis Schmid-Egger, 2018, nov.sp.
No full textFerreola tunesiensis SCHMID- EGGER nov.sp., figs 54-60 Holotype: Tunisiafemale 9.iv.1998, Nefta, leg K. Denesjr. [id. as Ferreolasagax, det. 2004 Wolf] (OLL). Paratypes: Tunisia 2 females 8.vi. 2000, 15 km W Nefta, 33‘50‘‘N 07‘43‘‘E (leg. et coll. CSE); 1 male 24.iii.2001 Thélèpte 35‘04‘‘ N 8‘33’ E [Barcoding voucher Nr. BC ZSM HYM 22790) (leg. et coll. CSE). Remark: Amoung the examined females of F. algira is a small series of different looking specimens from southern Tunisia. They represent a hitherto unknown and distinct species. The morphological results will be supported by genetic data. Amale from Thelepte differ from two other specimens (male and female, also from Thelepte) distinctly by genetic data (barcoding gene, COI, Schmid-Egger in prep.), what confirms its state as a valid species. Both species, F. tunesiensis and F. algira, occur sympatrically in Tunisia. The true identity of F. algira, described from Algeria, could not be verfied, because type specimens were not available to us. However, we treat the more common and widespread species as F. algira to avoid a confusion with the previous treatment of authors. Both species are clearly defined here to make a identification possible at least in females in most males. F. sagax, described by a male from Algier, is a synonym of F. algira, because Kohl (1986: 325) mentions the sharp propodeal egde in his descripion, what excludes the new species, F. tunesiensis. Diagnosis: F. tunesiensis nov.sp. is similar to F. algira and differs by the following female characters: gena with about 30 long black setae, longest setae nearly as long as AS 11. Gena of F. algira without pilosity or has a few, shorter setae only. Also, pilosity of forecoxa and mesosternum is longer and much denser in F. tunesiensis compared to F. algira. Vertex laterally (behind eyes, dorsal view) is narrower and more rounded in F. tunesiensis as in F. algira. It is always somewhat thickened in outer corner in F. algira. The limitation between propodeal dorsum and propodeal declivity consists in a more or less rounded egde in F. tunesiensis, and is with sharp and somewhat prominent edge in F. algira. The only examined male of F. tunesiensis has a rounded limitation between propodeal dorsum and declivity, without any edge (apart from lateral propodeal teeth). Description of female: Holotype: Bodylength 14 mm. Colour: Head inlcuding mandible dark red with the following parts black: apex of mandible, clypeus, a band each between antennal socket and ocellar area, leaving a narrow red band inbetween. Antenna black. Pronotum, mesoscutum, metanotum, tegulae red, remaining body black. Wings black, infuscate. with violet shimmer. Clypeal base and lower face with scattered thin yellow pubescence. Gena with appr. 30 long erect setae, longest setae as long as length of AS XI. Propleuron, forecoxa and mesosternum also with long setae, shorter than setae on gena, directed backwards. Morphology: Apical clypeal margin nearly straigth. Clypeus shiny, with scattered fine punctation. Malar space long, as long as OOL (somewhat shorter than AS XI). Clypeus prolonged, as long as AS II+III. POL = 1,3x as long as distance between hindocelli and margin of vertex. Gena (measured medially, in lateral view) als large as eye. Crossing between propodeal dorsum and declivity with rounded edge, propodeal dorsum laterally with two large teeth, and deep U-shaped emargination inbeetween. Propodeal declivity very fine grainlike punctured. SMC III above short, as long as diameter of midocellus. SMC II above large, as long as high. Remaining characters similar to F. algira. Variation of female paratypes: Bodylength 14 mmand 16 mm. Black colour of face is reduced in one female to a black spot around ocellar area. Clypeus is also red in this female, and pilosity of gena is reddish instead of black. Hindfemora are somewhat reddish in both paratypes. Description of male: Bodylength 10 mm. Colour: Red are: Gena, vertex behind ocelli, pronotum except collare, mesoscutum except large anterior spot, scutellum, medial part of metatotum. Frons, gena, propleuron and forecoxa with long, dense and black pilosity, longest setae as long as diameter of midflagellomeres. Malar space half as long as POL. Gena (measured medially, in lateral view) 0,55x as long as eye, below distinctly narrowed. For form of clypeus and length of AS see fig. 55. Otherwise similar to female, propodeal declivity not plane, somewhat waved. Geograf ic distribution: SouthernTunisia.
