( Figs 30, 31 , 54 , 59 , 79 , 99)

Arachnospila (Ammosphex) dschingis Wolf and Móczár, 1972: 245 (Ƥ), 246 (3), 250 (holotype, Ƥ, Mongolia, Chovd aimak, Mongol Altaj Gebirge, cca 16 km S den Somon Manchan, 1700 m, 9.VII.1966 (Z. Kaszab) [Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest], examined).

Diagnosis of male. The male of this species resembles that of Arachnospila (Ammosphex) belokobylskii sp. nov. by having hypopygium with well developed longitudinal median carina and short erect setae ( Figs 30, 31 , lateral view), but clearly differs by having gonostyli (ventral view) broadened preapically and volsella acuminate apically (gonostyli not broadened preapically and volsella not acuminate apically in A. (A.) belokobylskii ) ( Fig. 54 vs. 53).

Diagnosis of female. The female of this species is similar to females of other species which have ratio of eye width to half frontal width 0.8 and less, but differs by having apical flagellomere length almost 3 × its width (2 × in Arachnospila (Ammosphex) orientausa sp. nov.), by propodeum with ~20 long erect setae (~50 long erect setae in A. (A.) rasnitsyni sp.nov.), by shiny anterior rim of clypeus, which is distinctly set off from other part of clypeus ( Fig. 59 vs. 62), and by first flagellomere length 4.4–4.7 × its width (3.4–4.3 × in other females). Metapostnotum as in Fig. 79 . Venation of fore wing as in Fig. 99.
