ABSTRACT
The present work is based on study of the material collected in Turkey, predominantly in
the eastern part of the country, thus continuing with the work begun in a previous article by
Gayubo et al (2003). We report the results of the study of the Ampulicidae, Sphecidae and
Crabronidae (Bembicinae and Crabroninae) (Apoidea) (sensu Melo, 1999). A total of 160
species are identified, of which the following are new records for the Turkish fauna: Didineis
crassicornis Handlirsch, 1888, Nysson pratensis Mercet, 1909, Nysson tridens Gerstaecker,
1867, Nysson variabilis Chevrier, 1867, Lestiphorus bicinctus (Rossi, 1794), Stizus perrisi
Dufour, 1838, Bembix sinuata Panzer, 1804 and Mellinus arvensis (L., 1758). Aditionally, N.
pratensis, N. variabilis, B. snuata, and M. arvensis are also new record for the Asia continent.
Further more, Bembecinus innocens (Beaumont, 1967) is endemic to Turkey.
Key words: Spheciformes, Ampulicidae, Sphecidae, Crabronidae, Turkey, Middle East
INTRODUCTION
Hymenopterists, in particular, and entomologists, in general, are well aware of the
Turkish insect fauna, propitiated by the privileged geographical situation of the country.
This has been confirmed by the works published to date by Beaumont (1967, 1969),
Roth (1967), Pulawski (1967) and, recently, Tüzün et al. (1999) and Gayubo et al.
(2003). In this sense, it should be mentioned that we are still some way from having a
complete knowledge of Spheciform species possibly existing in Turkey.

GAYUBO, S. F., ÖZBEK, H.
For more than 35 years, one of the authors of the present article (Özbek) has
been collecting Spheciformes, the sampling undertaken since the nineties of the last
century –mainly in the eastern part of the country- being particularly intense. In an
initial publication (Gayubo et al., 2003), the identification of this material diffused
the results pertaining to five tribes of the Crabronidae: Astatini, Dinetini, Larrini,
Palarini and Trypoxylini; this involved the identification of 48 species, of which five
were new to the Turkish fauna. With the data presented here, we complete the study
of the Spheciformes group except Philantinae. This subfamily will be treated as third
part of our serial papers. Currently, intensive sampling in Turkey is ongoing with a
view to gaining as complete insight as possible into the Spheciformes species of that
country. Besides the collecting samples with insect net on flowering plants, two
Malaise traps were used in the collection of the material, one on the Campus of
Ataturk University, Erzurum, and the other one in Kars Sarýkamýþ, Karakurt, 40o
07’ 543” N; 42o 29’ 941” E, 1500 m. The Spheciformes species are associated
with the flowers of some plant species in various localities were indicated in
parantheses. For these Baytop (1994) was taken into account. The information
related to material and method and other particulars were given in the first part of
our study (Gayubo et al., 2003).
As mentioned in a previous work about the Turkish Spheciforms (Gayubo et al.,
2003), the “Sphecidae” sensu Bohart and Menke (1976) are considered to be an
artificial group comprising three families: Ampulicidae, Sphecidae and Crabronidae,
in agreement with the data of Melo (1999). For inclusion in that set of three families,
the term Spheciformes is used (Brothers, 1975) and, with respect to the subfamilies
and tribes, those recognized by Menke and Fernandez (1996) and Menke (1997)
are taken into account.
RESULTS
Spheciforms belonging to the families Ampulicidae and Sphecidae together with
the following subfamilies of Crabronidae: Bembicinae and Crabroninae have been
studied. The result of the present study is the identification of 160 species. For each,
we report the data on capture (localities, date of collection and sex of the specimens).
For species considered to be important, we add comments on morphological and
colouring variability.

Although many authors have reported a broad distribution of this species in Asia,
none of them cites it expressly from Turkey. Since the specimens are so conspicuous,
it is surprising that this species does not appear in the work of Beaumont (1967,
1969) but in any case the presence of this species in Turkey is confirmed.

IX. 1995, female. Kars: Sarýkamýþ, Karakurt, 40 07’ 543” N; 42 29’ 941” E, 1500m 3. VII. 2002,
female;1. VII. 2002, female;23. VIII. 2002, female;14. IX. 2002, female; Akkurt, 1050m. 25. VIII.
1997, female, (Echinophora orietalis Hedge and Lamond).
Two of the specimens examinate belong to the nominated subspecies (gaster
with red base); the others could be included within the subspecies P. occitanicus
syriacus (Mocsáry, 1881) (black gaster).
There is considerable morphological variability in this species; this was pointed
out by Roth (1963), considering 8 subspecies. The same author, studying material
from Turkey (Roth, 1967), examined some specimens that could not be assigned to
8
any concrete species. Taking this into account, it would be very appropiate to address
the study of the P. occitanicus group to define the status of currently consided
subspecies.
Palmodes strigulosus (A.Costa, 1858)
Distribution: Northern Mediterranean area, Turkey and Central Asia.
Material examined: Erzurum: Oltu, Sütkans, 1500m, 25. VI. 1996, male (Teucrium orientale
o
o
L.). Kars: Sarýkamýþ, Karakurt, 40 07’ 543” N; 42 29’ 941” E, 1500m, 16. VIII. 2002, male.
Palmodes sp.
Material examined: Erzurum: Olur, Süngübayýr, 1700m, 23. VII. 1992, female; 1. IX. 1992,
female; Pazaryolu, 1100m, 3. VII. 1997, male.
Although according to the key offered by Roth (1963) these females can be
identified as P.orientalis, this is not correct since the specimen does not fulfil the
diagnostic criteria proposed by that author. All that can be said is that it belongs to
the occitanicus group, subgroup strigulosus. Additionally, it has certain typical
characteristics, such as very prominent lateral lobes of the clypeus (almost acuminate)
and a scutum with superficial and isolated punctures.

female; Oltu, Sütkans, 2000m, 10. VI. 1997, female.
It would be interesting to study a broad series of material from Turkey, where
there seem to be individuals intermediate between P. ebenina and P. affinis (pointed
out by Beaumont, 1967 and confirmed in this paper) with a view to establishing
10
whether P. ebenina is a valid species or whether the specimens included in the
species are merely specimens of P. affinis with a less pronounced sculpture and a
more extended dark colour.

Podalonia luffii (Saunders, 1903)
Distribution: Eurasia. Recently recorded from the Iberian peninsula (Portugal) (Gayubo et
al., 2002)
Material examined: Erzurum: University campus, 1850m, 17. VIII. 1966, female,[Melilotus
officinalis (L.)].
The presence of this species in Turkey is confirmed (see comment on Sphex
fumicatus).
Podalonia rothi (Beaumont, 1951)
Distribution: Morocco and Turkey.
Material examined: Kayseri: Hacýlar, 1100m, 25. IX. 1985, female. Manisa: Center, 40m, 12. IX.
1985, female.
The two females examined show the differences in colouring and morphology
reported by Beaomont (1967) with respect to the specimens from Morocco used
by that author to describe this species (Beaumont, 1951). However, in this case it is
possible to observe the small spines alternating with the usual longer ones (a character
typical of P. rothi) on metatarsus I.
Podalonia sp. aff. rothi (Beaumont, 1951)
Material examined: Erzurum: University campus, 1850m, 2. VII. 1992, female; 5. VII. 1973,
female, [Melilotus officinalis (L.)]; 20. X. 1967, female.
The females studied show a much reduced red colouring, only tergum I and the
basal half of tergum II being this colour. The short spines on metatarsus I cannot be
seen.
Podalonia tydei (Le Guillou, 1841)
Distribution: The specimens studied belong to the subespecies P. tydei senilis Dahlbom,
(1843) (Southern Europe and Asia).
Material examined: Ankara: Beytepe, 900m, 1. IX. 1992, female. Balýkesir: 150m, 26. VI. 1992,

male. Samsun: Tekkeköy, 25m, 21. VII. 1983, male.
The males examined are in perfect consonance with those of Central and Southern
Europe except for the smaller extent of the red colouring on the gaster; despite this
reduction in red colouring, they cannot be assigned to P.hirsuta because of the
large extent of whitish pilosity, nor to P.ebenina owing to the shagreened sculpture.
Eremochares dives (Brullé, 1833)
Distribution: Mediterranean area, Turkey and Central Asia.
Material examined: Ýçel: Silifke, Göksu delta, Hurma, 25m, 12. VI. 1993, male, female.
Ammophila campestris Latreille, 1809
Distribution: Europe, Asia Minor, Central Asia, China and Korea.
Material examined: Erzurum: Palandöken, 2200m, 11. VII. 1996, male; Kargapazarý, 2100m, 11.
VIII. 1990, female, (Heracleum platytaenium Boiss.); Oltu, Çamlýbel, 1650m, 14.VII.1996, male.
Kayseri: Hacýlar, 1100m, 27. IX. 1985, female.
Beaumont (1967) examined specimens identified as A.ssp. aff. campestris, which
could belong to three species. Later, Beaumont (1969) himself examined a male,
which related to the true campestris. The specimens studied here undoubtedly belong
to A.campestris, thus confirming the presence of this species in Turkey.
Ammophila heydeni (Dahlbom, 1845)

This is one of the most common species of the genus Ammophila in the Palearctic
region, and shows considerable morphological and colouring variability, leading
Beaumont (1967) to differentiate two groups of specimens; one of them would
13
correspond to the true A. heydeni (Western Mediterranean area), while the other
would correspond to a form from South-eastern Europe.

CONCLUSION
A total of approximately 2200 specimens were studied, this permitting identification
of the 160 species included within the following families and subfamilies: Ampulicidae,
Sphecidae and Crabronidae (Bembicinae and Crabroninae).
Eight species are new for the Turkish fauna: Didineis crassicornis Handlirsch,
1888, Nysson pratensis Mercet, 1909, Nysson tridens Gerstaecker, 1867, Nysson
variabilis Chevrier, 1867, Lestiphorus bicinctus (Rossi, 1794), Stizus perrisi
Dufour, 1838, Bembix sinuata Panzer, 1804, and Mellinus arvensis (L., 1758).
Aditionally, N. pratensis, N. variabilis, B. snuata, and M arvensis are also new
record for the Asia continent. Besides the presence of 3 species are confirmed
38
occuring in Turkey: Sphex fumicatus Christ, 1791, Podalonia luffii (Saunders,
1903), and Ammophila campestris Latreille, 1809.
Regarding the distribution of the species, the elements Mediterranean in the
broadest sense (W. Mediterranean, Ethiopic-Mediterranean and Ibero-Mauritanian)
(45.63 %), Euroasian (25.63 %), Palearctic (10.63 %), Euroatlantic (11.25 %) and
Holarctic (6.25 %) are those appearing in the highest percentages. For many species,
plant visited were recorded.
