Identification of Hymenoptera (wasps, bees, ants)

Isn't that an ammophile?
Taken on 13.10.2011.

This is not ammophila

And the size of Prionyx subfuscatus (Dahlbom, 1845) is approximately 30-40 mm.

I'm sorry, I wrote " mm "instead of "cm".
But it still doesn't fit.

Guessing the species identity of ichneumonids based on external similarity is pointless. I collected the riders of this subfamily - many species, often similar in appearance to each other. Either painstaking work with determinants, or the help of a specialist. and not a fact. that the specialist will determine the view from the photo.

So I guessed right. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Good evening!A few more riders from the old training camps.

Photo 2-Female Amblyteles armatorius (Forster 1771)
for the curious, the fauna Europaea gives out only 1 species of the subgenus Amblyteles,
http://www.faunaeur.org/index.php

photo 3 and photo 4 are similar to this one:

And the size of Prionyx subfuscatus (Dahlbom, 1845) is approximately 30-40 mm.

No, half as much.

So I guessed right.

Did you compare this instance with the description? Have you compared this instance with a certain professional instance? At least "run" on the" green " determinant and went to this view? How did you manage to study the structure and sculpture of the chest (including the bottom), how did you study the bottom of the abdomen, the structure and sculpture of the facial region, and the structure of the jaws??????
Or was the black color combined with a light shield and light rings on the mustache enough?
I will disappoint you, but this is absolutely not enough in this group. A light ring on the mustache and a spot on the shield are quite common in this subfamily.

Nikita Rafailovich Kokuyev (1848-1914). Honorary member of the YAEIO, full member of the Russian Entomological Society (1894), first editor (1901-1902) of REO. His first works were devoted to beetles of the Yaroslavl province, but then N. R. changed his preferences and began to study Hymenoptera (Ichneumonidae, Braconidae). On this subject, he published 43 articles describing 208 species. (Unfortunately, we don't know how many of them are currently valid.)

Also, to facilitate the study of entomology, N. R. compiled and published in the proceedings of the YAEIO:
determinant of bee colonies in Central Russia (1909).-------------------------------------------------------------------???

Being a native of a rich merchant family, he financed the publication of both practical manuals on entomology (N. P. Petrov "Tables for determining the genera of dipterous insects", Yaroslavl, 1875) and the works of the YAEIO. The publication of the first issues of REO was also carried out mainly on the money of N. R. Kokuev. After his death, the collection of hymenoptera was transferred
to the Zoomuseum of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Is there a scan of it? In what language?

Here is a photo!!! For the first time I see that such a large grasshopper is caught by a wasp... what kind of view???

Yes, it is common for this and related species. This is Sphex funerarius, better known in Russian literature as "Sphex toothy".

Eucera sp.

Nope.
Eucera has two radiomedial cells,while here it has three.
Most likely Tetralonia sp.

Rather Eucera, a subgenus of Synhalonia. Something from the Eucera hungarica group, males of this and related species can only be distinguished by their genitals.

why does Eucera have such venation of the forewing? I have never seen
Eucera two radiomedial cells, Tetralonia has three
in the photo three

Tetralonia males also have such long antennae

Apparently a misunderstanding. Just some of the former tetralonia (from the green determinant) according to the modern classification (Michener, etc.) belong to Eucerae. Thus, part of the Eucera (subgenus Synhalonia) has three cells. The rest were transferred to Tetraloniella, leaving only Tetralonia macroglossa (Illiger, 1806) = malvae (Rossi, 1790) in the genus Tetralonia.

that's what it's all about.
thank you

Please help me, there is a problem with eardrums in general..I can't identify them..who is it? I understood Ichneumonoidea
27,09,11 in the forest, under a pine tree, in leaf litter (found because of a loud clicking sound in the place where it was. I went through everything but I didn't find anyone else)

with an ovipositor of 16.5 mm

Well, why don't you write where the rider was found!? Why do you have to wonder where you were that day? Pine trees grow in many places...
If it is in the vicinity of Voronezh, then, most likely, Pimpla rufipes (Muller, 1759) was found (it is also P. instigator F. according to the "green" determinant) - this is the most likely option. If you need it exactly (I don't know why?), don't be lazy, take the opr and run the instance by key-there are also pictures there.

In general, it makes no sense to determine ichneumonid from photos, sometimes of dubious quality, as it has been written here more than once. We need a series of good shots from different angles that give us an idea of what we are dealing with. And then, no one will give any guarantee of the correctness of the definition.
And playing a guessing game, as Liparus suggested not so long ago, comparing photos with fragmentary collections of ichneumonids, it is not known by whom and when, is clearly a vicious path. Having a little understanding of the group, sometimes you are surprised when individual "specialists", having picked up on the tops, undertake to categorically give very controversial, and sometimes deliberately incorrect diagnoses , even without IMHO-type attributions, clearly misleading the public with their assumptions.
The family is huge, only on the European part of the order of 5000 species, experts on the group within the CIS can be counted on the fingers. There are no definitive tables for some groups, and new species and genera of ichneumonids are described every year, including in Europe. Most of the photos in the network are identified incorrectly!
If you are really interested in these horsemen, learn how to identify hymenopteran families first, and then, once you have mastered it, you can also understand the subfamilies of ichneumonids - this is not so difficult, with some exceptions
If this doesn't stop you, go ahead and choose the most interesting group, collect literature, make collections, identify your materials, view existing collections, and establish contacts with specialists... With the right drive and enthusiasm, in a few years, you may reach a certain level where you will already be considered.
By the way, representatives of the tribe Pimplini (in which the transverse vein in the hind wing, called the nervellus, is strongly oblique and broken in the upper half) have a sharp characteristic smell (they smell when they are disturbed).

IchMan, golden words!

dy is not even in the vicinity, but in Voronezh itself, I will certainly banish the view)
and about the connections..where do they come from?

I don't know if it's correct, but I got Pimpla illecebrator Villers, but Google doesn't even have a picture(










/and what pill wasp can have a pitcher under the bark of a pine tree?/

Wrong. Are the hind legs black? Or is the ovipositor sheath 1.5 times longer than them? What kind of key did you actually use? The European part of the USSR? Backfill question: page number and abstracts? Don't confuse your shins with anything else?
If the key is the same, and tergites of the 2nd-4th tergites with narrow epipleurs, then Pimpla instigator (Fabricius, 1793) = P. hypochondriaca (Retzius, 1783)= P. rufipes (Miller, 1759)should be obtained
This is a common species of our fauna with a trans-palearctic distribution, and images for it can also be found in Google.

A connection from the dampness will not start, of course. From whom, in your opinion, should the initiative come? Under a recumbent rock...

I am certainly not a specialist, but I will express my opinion this is not a joke, but a representative of Perilampidae − a family of parasitic horsemen of the superfamily Chalcidoidea. Parasites of reticuloptera (Neuroptera), Coleoptera, and Hymenoptera.

Eugene, genus Perilampus as I understand it? Amazing contraption, develops with hypermetamorphosis (!), mostly parasites on the pupae of butterflies. There are not so many types, I think you can try to determine. Who will take it?)

A wasp like from the genus Nysson (Bembicinae) ?

Ilya try to run on the green, I also have fees for them, my hands do not reach:

I am not familiar with the terminology of hymenoptera, I need to understand what a prepectus is and where it is located))))

I take it the prepectus is that big smooth triangle over there?

p. s. a vein on the hind wings with a hook at the end
