Sphecodes duplex Blüthgen, 1927: 78, replacement name for S. biroi Meyer, 1925 (nec S. biroi Friese, 1909).
Diagnosis.
Structurally and sculpturally this species is extremely similar to the female of Sphecodes bakeri Cockerell, 1915, but it differs in the ocello-ocular area (Fig. 4 View Figures 2–7 )having shiny interspaces and T2 basally possessing fine and sparse punctures (versus ocello-ocular area with entirely confluent punctures without interspaces (Fig. 5 View Figures 2–7 ) and T2 impunctate in S. bakeri ).
Descriptive notes.
Wings with yellow-brownish darkening; hind wing with angle between basal (M) and cubital (Cu) veins almost 90°, costal margin with eight hamuli. Lateral preoccipital carina present. Female. Total body length 5-6 mm. Head strongly transverse (Fig. 2 View Figures 2–7 ), ca. 1.35 times as wide as long; vertex weakly elevated with distance from top of head to upper margin of lateral ocellus approximately a lateral ocellar diameter as seen in frontal view; labrum trapezoidal, 0.6 times as long as basal width; face and ocello-ocular area with dense punctures separated by at most a half puncture diameter; paraocular and supraclypeal areas with adpressed white pubescence obscuring integument, gena with sparser pubescence. Mesoscutum and mesoscutellum (Fig. 6 View Figures 2–7 ) areolate-punctate (30-50 μm); propodeal triangle (metapostnotum) with longitudinal wrinkles and deep large shining interspaces between them; lateral parts of propodeum with parallel wrinkles and large shining interspaces; mesepisternum reticulate-rugose. Metasomal terga red, almost impunctate (Fig. 7 View Figures 2–7 ); T2 basally with sparse and minute (ca. 5 μm) punctures; pygidial plate 1.2 times as wide as metabasitarsus. Male unknown.
