Bembecinus rhodius DE BEAUMONT View in CoL

D i s t r i b u t i o n: Greece, Western Turkey.

R e m a r k: The female of B. rhodius from Kreta is different from specimens from other origins. It is markedly lemmon yellow, tergum VI has a large yellow spot, and body size is 12 mm. Females from eastern Greece Islands and Turkey differ in body size (9-11 mm) and in color (pale yellow, color less extended, tergum II black). With the key of Schmid-Egger (2004), they key out with B. anatolicus DE BEAUMONT (key nr. 41.). In direct comparisation, clypeus of B. rhodius is somewhat longer than in B. anatolicus , but it is not sure weather this character is confirmed. I could only examine one ‘true’ female from Karpathos. Remaining females may confused with B. anatolicus , and distribution pattern of both species overlap in Western Turkey and the Aegaian Islands. So for the moment, distinction of B. anatolicus and B. rhodius female Turkey is not possible.
