Nugroho, Hari, Kojima, Jun-ichi & Ubaidillah, Rosichon, 2014, Synonymy of the potter wasp genus Philippodynerus Gusenleitner (Hymenoptera, Vespidae, Eumeninae) with Apodynerus Giordani Soika, with taxonomic notes on Apodynerus species, Journal of Hymenoptera Research 36, pp. 131-151 : 136

Apodynerus flavospinosus (Giordani Soika) Figs 13 , 17 , 20 , 23

Pachymenes flavospinosus Giordani Soika, 1986: 80, ♀♂, "Naga Naga, Leyte, Palo", holotype ♀ (IUNH).

Diagnosis.

The species can be easily distinguished from other Apodynerus by the peculiar shape of the submarginal carina, which is long, narrow, sharply pointed and curved upwards. The following combination of characters also helps distinguish this species from its congeners: female clypeus in frontal view wider than high, 1.2 × as wide as high ( Fig. 13 ); male clypeus in frontal view proportionally narrower than in female, as wide as high ( Fig. 17 ); metanotum obtusely dentiform; metasomal tergum I in lateral view moderately convex dorsally, then slightly concave preapically ( Fig. 23 ).
