Identification of Hymenoptera (wasps, bees, ants)

Caught in Turkey a month ago.
Red cross - already identified. The others need to be identified.
Thanks!
On the second photo, they are repeated, very interesting-long-legged.

South of the Krasnoyarsk Territory. I think it is Ectemnius ruficornis Zett female
13 mm

Everything is right.
But we have discussed this species not so long ago. View your images at URL #2345

And what kind, unknown?

No guarantees, since you can't understand it from the belly and without venation. In addition, the size is unclear. If it is a small thing, then it may well be Lasius, and if it is large, then Formica.

Please provide a link or an article on the normal taxonomy of the Apocryte. I am especially interested in the fact that the fauna was called Superfamily Apoidea, and then I went to look at the bees, and they were all stuffed into the apidae family and neither subfamilies nor tribes were given a single list of genera  

Are you serious or what?

Try looking at the OS here:

For Lasius niger, will this wing venation work? The place of action is ordinary wormwood.
And for Sphecodes, will the victim's sp. go in the second image? Valid until May 30. On milkweed.

1-Female burrowing wasp Ectemnius fossorius, which does not dig anything, but makes its nests in rotten wood.
2-Female fold-winged wasp Dolichovespula saxonica.
3-Glisten, most likely, Chrysis ignita (at least very similar, although some important signs are not visible, for example, teeth on the last tergite of the abdomen).

For Lasius niger, will this wing venation work? The place of action is ordinary wormwood.
And for Sphecodes, will the victim's sp. go in the second image? Valid until May 30. On milkweed.

Yes, it is most likely a male Lasius niger.
In the second picture in the "teeth" is not a bee Sphecodes, and some rider from ichneumonidae.

Thank you so much!!!
We will understand, well, at least the main families have not gone anywhere, this is already good, and then we left one family on the fauna for all the bees.

But that's just the way it is - all bees are in the same family Apidae. All old families, subfamilies, and tribes are downgraded by one rank. Take a close look at the most recent work:

Melo G.A.R., R.B. Gonçalves
2005. Higher-level bee classifications (Hymenoptera,Apoidea,Apidae sensu lato). Revista Brasileira de Zoologia, 22 (1): 153–159.
http://www.scielo.br/pdf/rbzool/v22n1/a17v22n1.pdf

I know Gabriel de Melo personally - he is a very serious morphologist and taxonomist, who will not just lay out anything without justification.
But, for obvious reasons, many apidologists are guided not by some cladistic calculations of an unknown Brazilian, but by the opinion of their master - Charles Michener and his system of 2000. What they don't know is that Gabriel did his dissertation at Lawrence under the same C. Michener.
But everything flows - everything changes. Here sphecidologists quite calmly accepted the division of "their" family already into 4 independent ones, so it will be apidologists ' turn. By and large, all bees are the same crabronids, but just with vegetarian children.

On the second photo, they are repeated, very interesting-long-legged.

In the right corner (long – legged) - Delta emarginatum, male.
To his left is the eastern hornet Vespa orientalis, a working specimen.
In the lower left corner is a species from the genus Polistes. If there was a bigger picture, it would be possible to tell up to the appearance.

Help identify bumblebees-displayed on page 52

It seems to me that this is Dipogon bifasciatum Geoffr female. Caught in the Khakassia River, Larch with birch. By the roadside. About 10 mm.
The front edge of the platband is shiny, sharply separated from the main part. The 3rd radiomedial vein is straight, it is the border of the dark ligature. The gap. the segment is shiny, fine-pointed, without transverse wrinkles. The forehead is dotted and shiny. The 3rd segment of the antennae is longer than the width is more than 3 times larger. Hind thighs without long hairs, with very sparse and short hairs.
In the DV identifier, there is a species similar in description to D. vechti Day (D. bifasciatus auct.)

It seems to me that this is Dipogon bifasciatum Geoffr female.

A. S. Lelei found very serious inconsistencies there, which may lead to a general revision of the status of this genus. So I'll hold off for now...

South of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, sandy slope.
8-9 mm. The nervulus of the hindwings is curved. 3 radiomedial cells.
The gap.the segment is uniformly convex without protrusions.
The claws are not split, with developed pulvils between the claws. The crest on the front legs is developed, it is difficult to say about the flatness of the spines.
The 3rd part of the mustache is long, longer than the first.

Long hairs on the head are quite rare, the 1st tergite without such hairs. The spines of the tarsal ridge on the first segment are longer than the 2nd segment of the legs, and the apical spike on the 2nd segment is longer than the length of the 3rd segment of the legs. The 3rd radiomedial cell is strongly narrowed towards the top. The platband is carved on the top. The face is covered with light hair, the hair on the temples is quite long. Eyes in an equilateral triangle. 1-3 tergites are red.
As a variant of Arachnospila gibbomima Haupt

South of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, sandy slope.

With the Pompilids, I pass-not my diocese. I mean, I've never delved deeply into the topic, since there are other experts. In particular, with regard to Arachnospila, this is Wolf...

Pemphredon lugens Dhlb female. Minusinsk, southern region. The edge of the forest.

Yes, the front edge of the trim is not visible. However, this is not critical. Of all our Pemphredon species with the 2nd return vein connected to the 2nd submarginal cell, P. lugens is well distinguished by the special structure of the last tergite of the female's abdomen-there the pygidial field is strongly narrowed to a longitudinal rib. Take a good look.

Where can I get a description (image) of the new mantispa taxon:
Mantispa aphavexelte Aspock, 1994 (apparently from Iran)
the fact is that this species was found in Volgograd - what the hell is not joking maybe it is to the north???

But it would not be superfluous to view more recent publications on this type (for example, via Google). There are certain problems there.

Dear colleagues!
The following types of folded-winged wasps are very necessary for research:

1. Polistes associ Kohl, 1898-both sexes.
2. Polistes bischoffi Weyrauch, 1937-both sexes.

The next request probably concerns mainly residents or visitors of the Far East.

3. Vespa binghami du Buysson, 1905-males only.
4. Polistes chinensis (Fabricius, 1793) - both sexes.
5. Polistes riparius Yamane and Yamane, 1987-both sexes.

You need at least one copy of each type and gender, but in a condition that allows you to use them to prepare high-quality photo illustrations for the upcoming atlas of public buildings in Russia.

All copies received will be returned to the owners or compensated by the book after its publication (i.e., no exchange or purchase and sale is provided - pure science.)

Can you tell what kind of eggs belong to?

Please help me identify the bumblebee! Moscow region, August, on marigolds.

Thank you in advance!

In the right corner (long) – Delta emarginatum, male.
To his left is the eastern hornet Vespa orientalis, a working specimen.
In the lower left corner is a species from the genus Polistes. If there was a bigger picture, it would be possible to tell up to the appearance.

Caught in the south of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, Minusinsk, dry meadow, poplar. About 6 mm. Male
Abdomen is black. Tergites without indentation at the base. Tergites are very weak and finely dotted. The last tergite has more points than the previous tergite.
The platypus is black, with 4 prongs at the top. The mandibles are dark brown.
The thighs and shins are not thickened, and there are no spikes on the legs and legs. The middle thighs are hairy from below, but not very long.
Pronotum without sharp corners.
The hair on the head and back is light, pressed down. The lower part of the middle breast is covered with rather long, not thick hairs. The sides of the mid-chest are sparsely dotted and shiny.
The last part of the mustache seems to be straight cut, slightly drawn from the outside.
More like Crossocerus distiguendus A. Moraw male, I admit that it can be C. elongatulus

Caught in early June in the south of the Krasnoyarsk Territory g Minusinsk, strawberry glade, forest edge, mowing. About 7 mm.
The cubital vein is located behind the anal cell. Chest without red pattern. The apex of the 1st, 2nd and middle of the 3rd abdominal segments are red. The base of the 1st and other tergites are black.2-5 tergites with white apical bandages.
The median field of the interval is longitudinally wrinkled. 10 parts of the antennae are rather deeply cut from below. Shoulder bumps and dots on the pronotum are yellow. The sides of the mid-chest are quite shiny with sparse, rather clear points.
It seems to me that this is from the genus of Gorytes, such as elegans Lep. Male.
