Identification of Hymenoptera (wasps, bees, ants)

1. Megarhyssa superba (Schrank,1781)
2. Megarhyssa perlata (Christ,1791) = Megarhyssa gigas (Laxmann,1770)

They are only interested in the birch tree because it contains the larva of the horntail, probably Tremex fuscicornis F., but they can also lay their eggs in other horntails that develop in conifers (Urocerus, Sirex, and Xeris).

And M. emarginatoria (Thunberg,1824) is now called M. rixator (Schellenberg, 1802)

Good afternoon!
Andrey, a question for you, on the basis of which you ranked megarissa 1 as a superba?
Please indicate the source of the statement about the reduction to synonyms M. emerginatoria and M. perlata
Thank You

Good evening. I looked at the latest pages of this topic. It looks like I have something from the Sceliphron family, help if possible. The wasp was caught in late August, on a sandy slope among willows. I ran around in the sand, looking for spiders, probably, or what they eat. South of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, Minusinsk
Here are some signs
-The wing wings are removed from the shoulder tubercles (Fig. 2)
-the 1st sternite forms a stalk (photo 1)
- the distance= between the basal vein and the pterostigma is longer than the latter.(photo 3)
- Middle shins with two spurs.
- Here it is difficult with the oral organs, I could not understand how long some parts are or not (in green it goes as a teza-antithesis).
- as I was able to understand, the chest is not metalic. shine, not in points, but in transverse wrinkles. (photo 4)
- The inner surface of the thighs is reddish, yellow edging of the outer edge of the vertebrae and yellow tops from the 4th tergite. The stalk is black!!
- claws with one denticle (short straight, closer to the base of the claw.), there are
arolii-Yellow platypus with an unpaired notch (quite deep) (photo 5)
- there are yellow spots on the intermediate segment, mid-thorax, pronotum, scutellum (photo 6-8)
- the body is not metallic shiny
In shape.S. destillatorium (black stalk, but my specimen has yellow spots on the body) is also suitable. Although it may not be the same genus at all, but it doesn't seem to look like Antophora

A request to anyone who asks to identify ichneumonid to provide material as it does Akulich-sibiria: clearly, clearly and clearly
I expect from him a photo of Siberian "strangers"

here I have another one of the burrowing wasps waiting. I can now, I can throw it off later, but what about this"alien"?

in order not to clog up the air especially, I can write directly to the PM ))

Here's my pompilide
something from the Pompilidae. As it seems to me the genus Auplopus has a lot of questions though. The first specimen was also caught somewhere, but the spider was taken from its clutches.
- 2nd sternite of the abdomen without cross-section. Grooves (although it seems to me that this is a male) (photo 1a)
- Rear thighs in front of the top with 5 spines. (photo 2a)
- Hind legs except for spurs with separate spines of different lengths. (photo 3a)
- The nervellus is more or less curved, but does not form an acute angle with the mediocubital cell. (photo 4a )
- With the anal vein forming a rounded angle (quite difficult to say.) (photo 4a, 1aa)
- On the intermediate segment there is a prong on the side (as it seems to me) in the form of such ears . (photo 5a, 7a)
- On the claw there is a clear blunt prong (photo 6a)
- The platypus is evenly rounded.
It is quite similar to A. sanguinolentus, but it is confusing that the distance between the hind eyes is not more than 3 times the distance from the eye to the eye.

I don't think we're particularly clogging up the airwaves
The wasp is very similar to the Pelopean (Sceliphron)- I have similar ones from the Saratov province, but in the wasp I am

and what is the difference?? I have material for almost any group. Ichneumonids??

Expert-that's a cool thing to say
I am engaged in ichneumonids, but to determine from the photo-only up to the subfamily
Too diverse and complex group

Sceliphron (Prosceliphron) deforme (F. Smith, 1856) is an oriental species, not marked in the" green " determinant, but it is in the determinant of the Far Eastern Federal District of Russia (it can be downloaded here http://herba.msu.ru)

a couple more photos on pompilid

This group is too diverse and complex

Well, if I break, I'll try to send a few pieces with a description.
It's just that I have so many of them, and their definition is quite complicated

Is this some kind of crypt? PLZ. Novosibirsk

Is this some kind of crypt? PLZ. Novosibirsk

This is the sem rider.Ichneumonidae, n / sem. Ichneumoninae
And what is a crypt?

This is a rider
And a crypt-what is it?

I decided to "hammer" under Ripper (transmitting the Latin alphabet in Cyrillic), but, apparently, I failed ("...non licet bovi), especially since I don't feel like a "bull" 100%. It seemed to me that there were some riders who were called "Cryptus": C. albitarsis, C. arenicola, C. armator, C. bucculentus, C. spinosus etc. And if Cryptinae = Phygadeuontinae, is it easier? I am hopelessly behind the times...

Meyrick-Eustace: Before I could answer you,Ichman was ahead of

Immediately I apologize for the terrible photos, and did not catch the sharpness of these hymenoptera. Appeared en masse in the bathroom in a Moscow apartment, never seen before. Size approx. 2.5 mm.
I can only speculate that they appeared after the mass exit of leatherworms (Attagenus smirnovi, also in the bathroom, maybe from the ventilation system) and may be related to them (parasites?).

what is it that you have there in the bathroom that is happening?)))...Everything multiplies. I think the connection eats. Very similar to egg-eaters of some type trichogramma, telenomus (chalcids)

People, will you have any opinions about my pompilida???

Maybe someone is familiar with these animals?
