isn't that Sceliphron curvatum ? (Vicinity of Voronezh)

Aha, he is the most
Chot they are strangely somehow glued to the triangles

Something I was in a hurry, like for Central Russia Sceliphron deforme, Sceliphron curvatum on the Black Sea coast.
I still don't understand how this crap differs, some of them seem to be reduced to synonyms, maybe AVA will come and put everything in its place

Here's the difference:
Sceliphron curvatum (F. Smith 1870) in Europa mit einem Bestimmungsschlüssel für die europäischen und mediterranen Sceliphron-Arten (Hymenoptera, Sphecidae). CHRISTIAN SCHMID-EGGER

"Tergit I im Profil an der Oberseite
flach, das Profil von Tergit I und II als
gleichmäßig gebogene Linie ausgeprägt
(Abb. 1). Mesonotum matt, die
grobe Querrunzelung eher verworren,
mit zahlreichen Punkten durchsetzt.
Petiolus schwächer als bei der folgenden
Art gebogen. Weibchen: gelber
Clypeusfleck auf die Mitte des
Clypeus beschränkt (Abb. 2). Asien.
Eingeschleppt in Süd- und Mitteleuropa.

stark geschwollen, das Profil von

More like Sceliphron curvatum.
According to my data, the most significant difference between these two species is the mid - spine sculpture. Sceliphron deforme has distinct transverse folds, while Sceliphron curvatum has a less regular sculpture.
As for the above differences in the shape of the stem and the 1st tergite, as well as the spots on the architrave-this is a copy from the revision of Hensen. But in reality, these signs "walk". But, by and large, in my opinion, the independence of these two types still requires verification.

As far as I understand, with their lack of knowledge of German, they still promise punctuality between the tangled folds of Sceliphron curvatum.
Then this is what you can call Sceliphron deforme?

What is this Pelopeia?
Photos are not mine, posted with the author's consent
, found last year, Ryazan region, almost at the border with Moscow (if necessary, I can clarify)

This is Sceliphron deforme.

And can you confirm for sure that this specimen was actually assembled in the Moscow region? If so, would it not be difficult to provide as accurate and complete data about him as possible?
The fact is that this species has not yet been observed north of the Nizhny Novgorod region. So the fact itself is interesting.

I already posted photos (not mine) of such a friend last year (the nest was found in 2012).
Mine was found at work already dead on the windowsill (died no more than three days ago), in the summer, all sorts of animals fly into the open windows en masse, some of which can not then get out and die, mainly flies and mass types of eardrums (such as honey bees, this year there are still a bunch of wasps), less often beetles, in late summer and autumn, nymphalids and flies flock to winter quarters in droves, motley butterflies fly in at night, and sometimes something interesting comes across. Perhaps scelifron is not local, because we have a new warehouse being built on the territory and maybe one of the workers brought the nest with their clothes.
