Euodynerus (Euodynerus) disconotatus (Lichtenstein, 1884)

(Figs 7A–H; 14E; 15I, Y; 16G, N)

Odynerus disconotatus Lichtenstein, 1884: L — “Montpellier” (? destroyed).

Lionotus sulfuripes Morawitz, 1885: 169, ♂ — [Turkmenistan] “ In territorio transcaspico, Asschabad ” (syntype male ZISP [examined]).

Odynerus collariventris Giordani Soika, 1942: 60, ♂ (in subgenus Rhynchium) — “ Creta ” (? type lost).

Euodynerus disconotatus albidus Blüthgen, 1951b: 70 (key), 73, ♂ (in subgenus Euodynerus) — “ Insel Rhodus ” (ZMB [examined]).

Euodynerus disconotatus laniensis Giordani Soika, 1979: 253, ♂, ♀ — “ Cipro: Lania ” (? holotype male lost, paratypes in MSNVE [examined]).

Distribution. Western and central Palaearctic, ranging from the Iberian Peninsula to Central Asia and descending into the Middle East and Pakistan (Fateryga et al. 2021).

Notes. Traditionally, two subspecies were recognized in addition to the nominotypical one: laniensis Giordani Soika from Cyprus and sulfuripes (Morawitz) ranging from Turkey and Arabian Peninsula to Central Asia and Pakistan. These subspecies were recently synonymized under the nominotypical one by Fateryga et al. (2021), who considered the differences presented by previous authors as simple intraspecific variability. Specimens ranging from Italy to Central Asia and Cyprus were sequenced not showing any genetic difference (Fig. 2), further confirming the synonymy of these two taxa under nominotypical E. disconotatus .
