Arachnospila (Ammosphex) mongolopinata Wolf, 1981 View in CoL

( Figs 24, 25 View FIGURES 20 – 37 , 49 View FIGURES 44 – 49 , 66 View FIGURES 57 – 66 , 86 View FIGURES 77 – 94 , 108, 109)

Arachnospila opinata mongolopinata Wolf, 1981: 199 View in CoL , 3 (holotype, 3, "MVR, Uvs-aimak, Charchiraa-uul, 30 km S Ulaangom, Umgeb. Kurort, Steppe, 1340 m NN, Stat. I, 5–22.6.[19]78" [Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg], examined).

Arachnospila (Ammosphex) mongolopinata: Lelej 1995: 245 View in CoL , 3; 2005: 128, Ƥ; Loktionov 2011: 83.

Diagnosis of male. The male of this species is similar to males of Arachnospila (Ammosphex) zonsteini sp. nov. and A. (A.) orientausa sp. nov. by having hypopygium distinctly narrowed subbasally, but clearly differs from the former by lacking baso-lateral tuft of setae ( Figs 24, 25 View FIGURES 20 – 37 vs. 28, 29) and by narrow volsella (very broad in A. (A.) zonsteini ) ( Fig. 49 View FIGURES 44 – 49 vs. 45), and differs from the latter by having hypopygium rounded apically (emarginated apically in A. (A.) orientausa ) ( Fig. 24 View FIGURES 20 – 37 vs. 26).

Diagnosis of female. The female of this species is similar to females of Arachnospila (Ammosphex) subvittata ( F. Morawitz, 1889) and A. (A.) eoabnormis Lelej, 1995 by having mesopleuron and propodeum with brownish micropubescence and by frons and lateral surface of propodeum with scattered short erect whitish setae, but differs from both of them by having 2r-m cell of fore wing narrower than 3r-m cell (2r-m cell of fore wing wider than 3rm cell in A. (A.) subvittata or equal to 3r-m cell in width in A. (A.) eoabnormis ) (Fig. 109 vs. 101, 115, 116). Clypeus as in Fig. 66 View FIGURES 57 – 66 . Metapostnotum as in Fig. 86 View FIGURES 77 – 94 .

Description. FEMALE (hitherto unknown). Body length 7.1–10.5 mm. Fore wing length 5.6–7.7 mm. Head width 1.2 × its height. Ocelli small, POD/OOD 1.0–1.1. Ratio of genal median width to eye median width (lateral view) 0.5–0.7. Ratio of eye median width to half width of frons (frontal view) 0.6–0.7. Clypeus longitudinally convex with weakly emarginate anterior border and with smooth rim, as in Fig. 66 View FIGURES 57 – 66 . Flagellomere 1 length 3.7–4.0 × its width. Relation of scape, pedicel and first two flagellomeres 30–40: 15–17: 43–56: 38–45. Apical flagellomere acuminate. Mesosoma length dorsally 1.4–1.5 × its width. Pronotum median length 0.3–0.4 × its median width, posterior pronotal border obtuse-angulate. Metanotum median length 1.6–1.9 × metapostnotum median length. Metapostnotum as in Fig. 86 View FIGURES 77 – 94 . Spines of tarsal comb short, protarsomere 1 with three spines of tarsal comb, tarsomere 2 with two spines, tarsomere 3 with 1–2 spines, tarsomeres 4 and 5 without spines; apical spine of protarsomere 1 0.4–0.6 × length of protarsomere 2; apical spine of tarsomere 2 0.4–0.6 × length of tarsomere 3. Wings infuscated with darker apical portion, venation of fore wing as in Figs 108, 109.

Frons usually with 4–12 long erect dark brown setae. Pronotum, fore coxa anteriorly, T6, S2–S6 apically with long erect rare dark brown setae. Gena and propleura with denser long erect pale brown setae. Scutellum with three long erect dark brown setae. Clypeus with 3–5 long erect strong dark brown setae. Each side of propodeum with 3– 10 long and short erect thin setae. Head, mesosoma, propodeum, legs (except coxae posteriorly) with gray-brownish (predominantly brownish) micropubescence. Coxae posteriorly with brownish or silver pubescence. Metasoma with gray micropubescence. Body regularly micropunctate. Body and legs black. Mandible usually pale brown medially, dark brown basally and apically; T1 (except basal portion) and T2 (completely or except apical portion) ferruginous-red.
