Identification of Hymenoptera (wasps, bees, ants)

Hello! Please help with the definition of the OS. All taken in the vicinity ofPenza or in the city itself, in the summer or in September 2013.

1. Perhaps Dolichovespula silvestris?




2. These two nests were 2m apart.





3.




4.





5. it's the same thing





6.





7.





8. Probably someone from Eumenes ?





9. perhaps Odynerus melanocephalus ?




10. Maybe Sphecodes albilabris ?





11. And this is probably another one?




12. Someone from Ammophila




13. Is it a wasp or a rider?




14. this one is very small




Thank you very much in advance!

1. Vespula, probably vulgaris.
2. Dolichovespula (I don't see it, saxonoca? sylvestris usually doesn't go into attics...) and Polistes dominula.
3. Polistes dominula, male.
4. Polistes nimpha, male and female.
5. Dolichovespula media.
6. Vespula (germanica?) and the male Vespula sp. (it's too complicated to look at) (why couldn't you put your own number under each photo?)
7. Polistes dominula, male.
8. Yes, apparently Eumenes papillarius.
9. Not Odynerus at all, but Ancistrocerus (which one is not visible).
10-11. I don't know the sphecodes. And on yarrow in general Sphecodes?
12. Ammophila, the species is poorly visible, can sabulosa?
13. Rider.
14. Something from Crabronidae like Psenulus or Pemphredon, I don't know, very poorly visible.

Surroundings of Kirovo-Chepetsk, Kirov region. July 16.

Sofa codes cannot be installed based on such images. Write Sphecodes sp. It is similar to albilabris, but such bees are detected only in the hands, and even then-not always!

Thank you very much! Can anyone tell me what kind of rider I have just above in photo 13 ?
Also, please help me identify the next riders. They were filmed in the vicinity of Penza in September and October.


1. Can this one be a Bracon ? Or an Ophion rider ? I don't remember the exact size, somewhere from 10 to 25 mm.




2. Perhaps Ichneumon suspiciosus ? Filmed in August.






3. This one is about 20 mm, the first segments of the abdomen seem to be reddish





4. Large, not less than 30 mm without ovipositor and whiskers, can be Ephialtes manifestator ?





5. This one is much smaller, the body is not more than 20 mm.




6. About the same.




7. This male is small. The width of the leaves of this herb is probably no more than 5 mm.




Thank you in advance!

A rare photo is the mating behavior of riders from the genus Phaenoserphus (family Proctotrupidae). Males twist their antennae in a spiral pattern along the antennae of the female.

No, I didn't take it to the collection, I almost don't take riders, of course I want to be interesting, but I don't have enough time for everyone, and it's a shame to dump into the deposits

Today I found on the window (Kiev) here are such oss. I also found out where they came from.
Tell me the view, if possible.

Unrealistic! There are a lot of endemics there! And the descriptions are in Uzbek, Farsi, and some other language!
The eardrums of Central Asia were intensively studied under Popov, the most serious specialist on eardrums in the USSR. Perhaps Rasnitsin Alexander Pavlovich can be disturbed.... It will at least tell you where to look.... He is not only a paleontologist, but also a good taxonomist of perepony....

Please tell me about bumblebees. All were shot in the vicinity of Penza. I still don't understand how to accurately distinguish Bombus terrestris from Bombus lucorum, cryptarum, magnus, semenoviellus, soroeensis, and other similar species. For example, who is it:

1. Similar to terrestris, but no yellow hairs on the pronotum. August 13.




2. Similar to terrestris, but no yellow hairs on the abdomen. 16.05.13.




3. Maybe Bombus lucorum? 7.09.13





4. Ibid., 7.09.13





5. Ibid., 7.09.13




6. Ibid., 7.09.13




7. Ibid., 7.09.13




8. Maybe Bombus hortorum? 18.08.13




9. Maybe Bombus hortorum? 18.08.13




10. Maybe Bombus hortorum? 18.08.13 There are even yellow hairs near the white tergites (probably on the 4th tergite of the abdomen?)




11. Maybe Bombus lucorum? 18.08.13





12. lucorum or terrestris? 27.07.13




13. lucorum or terrestris? august 13





14. lucorum or terrestris? 18.08.13. The hairs on the 2nd tergite are white.






15. Probably the same thing. The hairs on 2 tergites are white. 3.08.13







16. I can't even guess anything about this. 10.08.13





17. Someone's male? 10.08.13





18. About this also nothing even predpolodit can not. 30.06.13






Thank you very much in advance!

1. It can even be a female Bombus terrestris, for them just a weakly expressed sling is normal.
2. Probably a female, Bombus (Psythirus) sylvestris, very poor lighting, nothing is clear
5 (individual on the right) and 12. Very possibly working individuals of Bombus terrestris
10. Male, I think, Bombus (Psythirus) bohemicus
17. Male, Bombus (Psythirus) campestris
18. Female, possibly Bombus (Psythirus) barbutellus? I've never seen it, but I can't think of anything else.
The rest must be held in your hands, and that is not always clear, according to the photo, working individuals and males are not identified

I do not risk even assuming something without the material!:) this is a very complex group, changeable. Very ambiguous and confusing. Without the material, even in green, it is difficult to decide until the end!

Have you ever tried to identify bumblebees by signs? If this is so important to you, then I think you can catch a dozen and see the main signs. At least the length of the cheeks, which is already very likely to distinguish a species or group of species. I think you can guess here for a long time. And the fact that the bumblebees were shot in one place sometimes also does not mean anything. I actually have in one thicket of thistles and lucorum and then hortorum and subterraneus and patagiatus and semenoviellus and in a bunch of paradoxus.
No, well, maybe there are specialists here like this on the fly, if so, then I'll throw my own, for which there are still questions

16. look at the presence of consobrinus and modestus, perhaps someone can distinguish by drawing, but here they clearly differ in the ratio of length and width of the cheek. In the first type, the cheeks are much longer than in the second type.

...I still don't understand how to accurately distinguish Bombus terrestris from Bombus lucorum, cryptarum, magnus, semenoviellus, soroeensis, and other similar species...

1. Take a net instead of a camera, stains with chloroform (more!).
2. Go catch bumblebees, and more. Don't throw a lot in one stain, especially in the heat, otherwise the hair will get steamed and stick together, it sucks very much.
3. To mount the material at home, the men immediately pull out the edeagi (this is very easy).
4. Take the determinant, for a start, green is enough, and drive.
5. Download photos from the Internet.
6. After a few days - repeat, starting with point 1.
After a short time, you will solve a significant part of the questions. And throwing pictures is an unproductive occupation for bumblebees, as we have repeatedly written about here.

Please help me with the definition.All eardrums were caught in the Vinntsy region (Ukraine).

Sorry, but neither the late Popov (a specialist in bumblebees) nor Rasnitsyn (a paleontologist and specialist in ichneumonids) ever worked on the taxonomy of pompilids. So, don't bother busy people.
If you really try to reach out to someone, then to Loktionov and Leley (Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Vladivostok). These are the only real road OS specialists in Russia today.

The late Popov Vladimir Veniaminovich was engaged in bumblebees to a lesser extent. He is a specialist in " taxonomy, morphology, faunistics, ecology and evolution of hymenoptera (mainly bees) and some other groups of insects and arthropods; he studied the fauna and ecology of insects in the Middle and South. The Urals, Central Asia, Kazakhstan and Armenia". Bumblebees are not even mentioned in biographical references. But he knew the elephants of Central Asia very well!
Rasnitsyn Alexander Pavlovich - " His research interests lie in the field of paleontology, phylogeny and taxonomy of hymenopteran insects and insects in general, as well as in the field of evolutionary theory, principles of phylogenetics, taxonomy, zoological nomenclature, paleoecology. He is the author of more than 300 scientific papers and has described more than 800 species of arthropods, mostly fossil insects." Not a word about the riders again. excellent connoisseur of hymenopteran taxonomy. What I wrote about earlier. If not for him, then there were quite a few talented guys working in the laboratory. Sorry, but Wed.Asia has always been more familiar to St. Petersburg and Moscow schools than to Novosibirsk and the Far East.

And most of the material is stored in ZINA, MSU, Zoomuseum and ... Kiev, Rostov-on-Don and Omsk.

V. V. Popov was an expert on all bees, but still-on bees. But A. P. Rasnitsyn is a specialist in many fossil insects and some review groups of webs (ichneumonins first of all, look who is the author of the treatment in the green determinant, as well as a number of sessile-bellied ones, etc., but not pompilids).
And in general, a specialist who knows everyone personally has specifically advised you on who to contact, and you respond with quotes from Pedivikia or somewhere else. Valery Loktionov is the only one who should be pulled on pompilids, and if he doesn't figure it out himself, he will also turn to A. S. Lelei (who, by the way, worked most of all in terms of fauna in Central Asia - where else is there such a variety of wasps if not there).
