who is it? Voronezh, bot. garden, today

Dolichovespula media.

And at the same time, maybe look at my oska? This oska is from Anapa.

Ancistrocerus auctus.

Ukraine, Rivne region, August 12
As far as I understand in the Segsegis images,
what is the probability that Cerceris interrupta ?? I haven't seen others with a white pattern, but there are 50 species of them in Europe.

Male medium wasp (Dolichovespula media Retz.).

Road wasp about 1 cm long, photographed on July 20 in the west of the Vologda region.

It appears to be Episyron rufipes (Linnaeus, 1758), fem.

Tenthredo omissa ??

Phyllanthus digs a hole. The size is about 2 cm. Their whole settlement: on 1 sq. m - dozens of minks. It's hard to think where the nearest honeybee hives might be, but there is a colony of long-whiskered bees just a few meters away. July 10, east of the Vologda region. Is it really possible to clarify the definition?

Alas your definition is not correct this is a representative of the genus Bembix sp.

Hello! Perithous divinator?

Hello! Perithous divinator?

No, this is Gasteruption, most likely G. jaculator.

The photo is not mine, with the author's permission.
Ukraine, Odessa region, July 27
Gasteruption sp.??

Ammophila sp, probably Ammophila sabulosa

Not no, Gasteruption was correct. The male.
Ammophila isn't even close.

Good evening. Please help me determine. N. Novgorod, July of this year.
1.Ammophila sabulosa?

2.Philanthus triangulum?

3. Flat body, sharp and fast movements.

I found a half-crushed sheet. (Moscow). According to all signs (antennae, mandibles, tip of the abdomen from below), P. dominula is obtained. Confuses almost completely yellow trim. I've never seen anything like this before. P.dominula?

I have in my opinion something of the same kind under the number 3 in the previous post.

What is this Pelopeia?

, found last year, Ryazan region, almost at the border with Moscow (if necessary, I can clarify)

A very interesting Pelopean, the stalk of the abdomen is curved (as in S. curvatum, S. deforme), and the nest is like in species where the stalk of the abdomen is straight; it does not look like anything in color (except, with a stretch, it is close to S. deforme, but again the nest is not like that). Perhaps something new from the drift species. Hopefully AVA will show up and determine...

What's bothering you? We have plenty of them, and they should also be available in the north, just less often.

and who it is. by the way, a rarity was also discovered nearby - L. ANATHEMA

Dear colleagues,

Excuse me for being able to write only in English. I am the member of the forum from Serbia, and I have already used several of highly interesting data posted here earlier, on introduced Sceliphron. For all interested, you may download our paper:
http://www.eds.org.rs/AES/Vol16/08%20AES%2...c%20et%20al.pdf
where we credited several members of the forum.

The photos posted by John-ST are certainly very interesting and unusual, as noted yesterday by Karharot. The wasps are almost certainly S. deforme, but the type of the nest does not match. The locality/area (Рязанская область) corresponds well in latitude with the most recent available records in neighbouring state (Mordovian Republic: Temnikov, 2011), which is the southernmost of the published spreading points (see the whole story in our paper). It would be highly unlikely that another introduced species of Sceliphron (Hensenia) would appear there (from SE Asia), so close to the first one. Off course, however unlikely, there is a theoretical possibility for such an event... in any case, it would be most useful to catch some specimens (preferably in high % alcohol). If the same species (=deforme) is here, it might happen to be the case of re-usage of another species nest (S. destillatorium), certainly an unusual behavioural modification?

I would greatly appreciate to receive more details of these pictures (exact locality, date/s, author, etc).

Best regards from Serbia!

More about riders. I assume that in the picture Dusona sp.?? (Campopleginae)
Right ? I will be glad to hear your critical comments.
Of the other possible ones, someone from Cryptinae, but it's hard to believe.

Exactly Dusona, but sp., no more than

And another one, also on August 11

Good afternoon. Please define it. N. Novgorod, end of June.
[attachmentid()=176928]

Pimplinae, Ephialtini, possibly Scambus sp. , but it is difficult to say before the genus

Tell me, please, what kind of rider is this? There are a lot of them at the beginning of June this year in the Moscow region.

We have 10 pieces sitting on an old birch tree.
Big, beautiful, but smaller than the pearl megarissa.

maybe Rhyssa kriechbaumeri Ozols, 1973, if you could send me a few copies, then I would say for sure. write me here Sancho.Varga@gmail.com

What kind of horntail?
We were on a dry alder tree together with Xiphydria camelus.

Rhyssella approximator (Fabricius 1793)

This is Sceliphron deforme. And how far north he had already traveled...

P.S. And why "Pelopeia"? This genus name has not been used for a long time...

Ichneumonidae, Ichneumoninae

Thank you so much for your help in determining

to ACetkov I'll contact the author of the images

to AVA it seems like in all more or less decent publications of scelifrons in Russian Pelopeia is called

Attention to all those who are interested in os taxonomy.
The page of A. S. Lelei on the family Mutillidae has appeared. There are German OS directories and it is supposed to create constantly updated Word versions of these directories. You can view it here:
