A couple of burrowing wasps/ bees, I really want to know their names:

1. Ryazan region, July 26, sandy road in the meadow. When inspecting the territory, the mink buzzed quite loudly.

2. Tula region, August 3, sandy island (sand is poured for transport through the ditch) at the motorway - wow, where you're sheltering! Easily dragged stones ø8 mm.

I'm adding another sawfly, I think. I assume Trichiosoma lucorum. Ryazan region, sandy soil, in the forest.

Dear colleagues, I would be very grateful for your help in determining this Sphecinae. SW Crimea, kovylno-petrofit steppe, 13. VIII. 2018. Body length with head 16 mm, wingspan 21 mm.

This is a female Podalonia sp.
If the midrib that is poorly visible in the image is rarely dotted and shiny, then it is most likely Podalonia fera (Lepeletier de Saint Fargeau, 1845).

Sometimes definable. Especially when the photo shows a clean abdominal brush. In your case, it is most likely a female Megachile centuncularis (Linnaeus, 1758).

Like Megachile centuncularis, the abdominal brush is completely red, with a maximum of black hairs mixed in at 6 sternum. And here the abdominal brush on 5-6 sternums is completely black. Plus, Megachile centuncularis has a protruding pubescence of 6 tergums, but I don't see this here.
Could it be Megachile versicolor F. Smith, 1844 ?

It looks more like a working one, since the uterus should have a different abdominal pattern.

By the way, I've been dreaming of taking a picture of a flower wasp for a long time, it's over, I've been thinking about celonites all the time, but here it's even like this! They write that it can be Ceramius, although I do not find this kind in the USSR determinant. jump.gif

https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/14...comment-1944232

28.08.2018 0:07, Кархарот

Yes, I've already seen it. I think Adrian is right, it's Ceramius. Unfortunately, the photo does not allow you to see the signs necessary to determine the species. The closest common species is Ceramius bureschi Atanassov, 1938, described from Bulgaria. Although, judging by the description, it is black and yellow, not black and white. But this is not the most important thing, and it may also be within the limits of variability. Important - breast structure, top of the abdomen (if male, but female in the photo), and some other morphological features that are not visible. In the" determinant of the USSR", the genus is not present, because it is the European part of the USSR (in Transcaucasia, the genus is present). For Ukraine, this is, of course, a cool find. If I could just go back there and catch it, and then send a copy to, say, Volker Mauss, it would be all very well.

It's a pity to catch them ) But I must say that it is in that place, at the spring in the steppe, where they arrive, their number is quite high, that is, this is not an accidental find, they live there and I see them there for the second season. However, for some reason I haven't seen them anywhere else in such conditions.
I wonder how they live, but of course you can catch one osk, but there are relatively many of them.

28.08.2018 0:39, Hierophis

In general, of course, it is interesting, but despite the general similarity, these local Ceramiuses differ in color from those that are on the Internet, although there are very few images, of course. Suddenly, our population is a variation of the same Ceramius bureschi, but it meets the criteria for subspecies smile.gif

28.08.2018 10:59, Lithophagum

Dear colleagues, I would be very grateful for your help in clarifying the definition of this species - Ammophila heydeni Dahlbom, 1845? SW Crimea, kovylno-petrofit steppe, 13. VIII. 2018. Body length is 17 and 20.5 mm. And also, can you tell me what caused the slight difference in the color of the abdomen-sexual dimorphism?

What if our population is a variation of the same Ceramius bureschi, but suitable for the subspecies? smile.gif

If you are interested in how they live, then probably the species still needs to be determined, and for this you need to catch it. Preferably not one wasp, but at least two (female and male). I don't know if their males come to the water, or if they need to look elsewhere.
And with subspecies in vespids, everything is very muddy, these are just color forms that are not always geographically isolated. Recently, many researchers (and I too) have come to the conclusion that it makes no sense to single them out. Public operating systems have already abandoned them. Although Mazarin and Eumenin still have them by tradition.

Well, this is how to say, if you read what is already known about this species, then of course you need to determine, and if you find nests, and observe, then determining the species is not the most important, although it is also necessary, at least in order to compare what they write - with what they saw.
As practice has shown with catamenes and cryptoheiluses, there may be discrepancies with what is written wink.gif
And, surprisingly, for large cryptocheiluses from ecology and ethology, I have not found anything other than Fabre's note yet, although I have only searched for two species - ringed and rubellous. But it would seem-what is easier to come up with than to watch such wasps. And the description of Fabre, let's just say, does not really agree with what we saw) And here in general flower wasps, such wasps photos of which units in the network are, although I found materials about the ecology and biology of some Ceramius species)




28.08.2018 21:21, Кархарот

Observations of an unknown species are an order of magnitude less valuable than those of a particular one, especially considering that the biology of the genus Ceramius is generally well studied (compared to other Mazarins). And this species may not be studied at all.
There are no published full-fledged observations on Katamenes dimidiatus, only a note by Amolin and Efetov (2001) that it catches caterpillars with a scoop, and a couple of works by the same Amolin in little-known collections indicating nests found, but without special details. In general, few people are engaged in the biology of single wasps, and the eumenin os is even more so. It takes a lot of patience. For example, my article will soon be published, where I spent 15 years assembling partitions from Alastor mocsaryi nests to determine whether the wasp uses nectar or water to build them. Or how I was looking for Brachyodynerus magnificus nests for a full-fledged article, it was still that epic... But this is all already offtopic.

28.08.2018 21:59, Hierophis

Well, for any observations, you need patience) However, the way of life of wasps is so interesting that I would not call the sensations that arise when watching them - patience, it is so exciting that patience can only be called waiting for the next day wink.gif
And with publications, yes, it's not very easy, but it's not easy for me either. On the one hand, I want to post my observations so that they are reviewed, and on the other - without formalism, with the maximum number of photos, and so that they are accessible to everyone.

And as for the case, for example here-they are of course very similar, straight flower wasps, but I think that it's still one of some sawflies, there are quite a few of them, or maybe I'm mistaken, and these are wasps?)

http://ukrbin.com/show_image.php?imageid=53462

And yet - once an expert here expressed well-founded doubts that I found a population of single-lane scolias, because last season I managed to take pictures of only one scolia, and correspondingly. there were doubts about the color variations of the steppe scolia, and in general.
But, this season I found a lot of them, there were both males and females, they differ from steppe scolias in their habit, very very dark wings, and other terms of the maximum departure.
But alas, of course, I didn't catch anyone, but still, according to such data, we can say that these are single-striped scolias, or a steppe morph?

https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/14232942
https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/14232943

Well, since we are talking about steppe scolias-also for clarification, I hope I was not mistaken? smile.gif

28.08.2018 22:12, Hierophis

And this is a note rather for Gans75, because I do not participate in UkrBIN, and he can fix it)
Still, German wasps-IMHO this is the pinnacle of the development of social wasps, and although vulgaris are similar to them, but they are still slightly different, and correspondingly. they are less common, more stenobiont, not so plastic, in general) Although it is easier to keep them than germanic, because they are mrolyubivye)

The photos show not only a different type of paper layer that is not typical of Germanics, but even one of the fairly reliable signs of color - an intermittent stripe on the cheeks, so this, in my opinion, is vulgaris)

However, the way of life of wasps is so interesting that I would not call the sensations that arise when watching them - patience, it is so exciting that patience can only be called waiting for the next day wink.gif

This is if you have already found them. And I meant patience to find the nests of the right wasps.

http://ukrbin.com/show_image.php?imageid=53462 - sawflies (Cimbicidae, it must be)

https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/14232942 and https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/14232943 - quite a S. fallax

https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/14612950 - S. tridentatus (or maybe S. melanopterus, I can't tell them apart)
Likes: 1

28.08.2018 23:24, Hierophis

I didn't know there was another very similar species. I thought there were only two of them.. Given the attribute available to me from the determinant - the light vertex edge of the wings for tridentatus, and if you compare the pictures from the Internet that can be attributed to melanopterus, then I have taken pictures so far only of tridentatus.

The compilers of the CCU have an amazing logic, for some reason they added only one species of the genus, although for three species it is indicated "all south", respectively. probably all the species were noted in Ukraine, and all of them, in principle, are not often found. But only Tridentatus was placed, probably the most frequently encountered of them smile.gif
