3916879FD81AFF9D9CC45F96FAC7F919.taxon	discussion	Remarks. We studied numerous specimens of S. crassus from Europe, Central Asia, the Urals, and Siberia. Two specimens examined from Japan identified as S. dyozankeanus (male) and S. ohdeyamanus (female) by K. Mitai proved to be S. crassus. Description, figures (Tsuneki 1983, 1984), and redescription (Mitai & Tadauchi 2013) of S. dyozankeanus and S. ohdeyamanus also indicate identity with S. crassus. For this reason we propose S. dyozankeanus and S. ohdeyamanus as new junior synonyms of S. crassus. FIGURES 35 – 52.

3916879FD813FF909CC45918FE95FA9A.taxon	discussion	Remarks. We studied numerous materials of S. geofrellus from Europe, Central Asia, Urals and Siberia. Male and female specimens examined from Japan identified as S. silvicola by K. Mitai proved to be S. geofrellus. Description, figures (Tsuneki 1983) and redescription (Mitai & Tadauchi 2013) of S. silvicola also unequivocally indicate identity with S. geofrellus. For this reason we propose S. silvicola as a new junior synonym of S. geofrellus.	en	Astafurova, Yulia V., Proshchalykin, Maxim Yu.

Variablity of this species is limited and mainly evident in density of body punctures and the size of velvet-like areas on male flagellomeres. Male and female specimens from Japan identified as S. amakusensis by K. Mitai proved to be S. longulus, and description (Yasumatsu & Hirashima 1951) and redescription (Mitai & Tadauchi 2013) of S. amakusensis also indicate identity with S. longulus. We therefore propose S. amakusensis as a new junior synonym of S. longulus.	en	Astafurova, Yulia V., Proshchalykin, Maxim Yu.

The new species is very similar to S. ephippius (Linné) in structure, body sculpture, and form of male genitalia, but differs from this species by the well-developed longitudinal carina of the vertex in both sexes and the entirely dark metasoma in males (S. ephippius usually with T 1 − T 3 all or partly red).	en	Astafurova, Yulia V., Proshchalykin, Maxim Yu.

3916879FD809FF8A9CC45D36FE16FC7D.taxon	description	Description. Male. Structure. Body length 6 − 9 mm. Head weakly transverse, 1.1 times wider than long. Vertex with a longitudinal carina. Genal area slightly narrower than eye in lateral view. Antenna attaining middle of scutum; F 1 short, strongly transverse, 0.5 times as long as wide; F 2 longest, 1.4 times longer than wide; other flagellomeres 1.1 − 1.2 longer than wide. Undersides of F 3 − F 11 with semicircular felt-like areas (depression with very short hairs). Felt-like area on F 3 covers about 1 / 5 underside, on F 4 and F 5 about 1 / 4 − 1 / 3 and on the following segments about 1 / 2 (Figs 13, 14). S 7 slender, arrow-shaped. S 8 diamond-shaped: narrow-triangulary produced posteriorly and wide-triangulary anteriorly. Gonocoxite without dorsal depression. Gonostylus as in Figs 43, 44. Sculpture. Face dense punctate, with confluent punctures. Vertex and genal areas rugose. Scutum with deep, round punctures (20 − 40 µm / 0.5 − 2), becoming confluent peripherally (Fig. 100). Scutellum with punctures confluent (areolate). Mesepisternum reticulate-rugose. Basal part of propodeum (propodeal triangle) coarsely reticulaterugose, and rest of propodeum similarly sculptured. Metasomal terga polished; T 1 impunctate or with few very fine punctures; T 2 − T 4 with sparse, fine, but distinct punctures; marginal zones impunctate; T 7 shagreened, apically smooth, densely and coarsely punctate throughout. Coloration. Body black except the following: mandible redbrown apically; flagellar segments brown or reddish-brown beneath; legs dark brown, tarsi reddish to yellow; stigma and veins yellowish-brown. T 1 − T 3 sometimes apically reddish-brown. Vestiture. Face below antennal sockets with moderately dense and long plumose white hairs. Female. Structure. Body length 7 – 9 mm. Head weaker transverse, 1.16 – 1.27 times wider than long (Fig. 61). Vertex weakly elevated, with a longitudinal carina, distance from top of head to upper margin of lateral ocellus about twice lateral ocellar diameters. Labrum trapezoidal, 0.4 times as long as wide. Genal area 1.3 − 1.4 times narrower than eye in lateral view. F 1 − F 3 transverse, about 0.6 times as long as wide; other flagellomeres square. Pronotum between dorsal and lateral surfaces with sharp angle. Hind femora moderately enlarged on proximal half, with maximal width 0.35 times as length. Hind wing with 5 – 6 hamuli. Pygidium 1.2 – 1.4 times wider than hind basitarsus. Sculpture. Clypeus, supracypeal area, and frons (until upper margin of eyes) densely punctate, with punctures less a puncture diameter apart to confluent. Vertex (behind lateral ocelli) and genal area with a longitudinally carinate, between carinate smooth and shiny. Scutum and scutellum with deep, round, moderately dense punctures (20 − 30 µm / 0.5 − 2). Mesepisternum reticulate rugose. Basal part of propodeum (propodeal triangle) reticulate-rugose (Fig. 71). Sculpture of posterior vertical surfae of propodeum similar, but that of lateral surface generally finer and smoother. Metasomal terga polished; T 1 impunctate or with few very fine punctures; T 2 − T 4 on basal half distinctly punctate, with fine and relatively dense punctures (10 − 20 Μm / 1 − 3); marginal zones impunctate. Sterna finely tessellate with coarse hair pores 1 − 3 diameters apart. Coloration. Head and mesosoma black except reddish mandibles and often blackish brown flagellar segments beneath. Legs dark brown, tarsi brown, sometimes light brown. Stigma and veins brown. Usual T 1 − T 2 wholly and T 3 basally red, often T 3 wholly red and T 4 basally red; S 1 − S 3 red or sometimes reddish brown. Vestiture. Face below antennal sockets with sparse and moderately long plumose white hairs.	en	Astafurova, Yulia V., Proshchalykin, Maxim Yu.

3916879FD80BFF889CC45969FAF1FB72.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Cockerell (1924) noted that Sphecodes sibiricus very close to S. japonicus (= S. scabricolis), but slightly differs from it by size of stigma and form of fore wing marginal cell. He noted also similarity S. sibiricus with S. scabricolis, but wrote: “ the strongly brown wings separate it from this ”. We studied material of S. scabricolis from Europe, Central Asia, and Siberia and recorded variablity of wing characteristic noted by Cockerell. The photos of holotype of S. sibiricus indicate identity with S. scabricolis. In this special case, the Type Specimen Database of the NMNH (http: // collections. nmnh. si. edu / search / ento /) proved to be extremely useful.	en	Astafurova, Yulia V., Proshchalykin, Maxim Yu.

3916879FD80DFF8D9CC4587BFC57FAA9.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The female of S. tanoi was unknown, as was the male of S. coptis, but both species are quite numerous in Japan (Mitai & Tadauchi 2013) and not rare in Russian Far East. This species resembles S. ferruginatus and S. hyalinatus in many distinctive characters, including lack of an angle on the pronotum between dorsal and lateral surfaces, so must belong to the same group of species. We find S. tanoi and S. coptis to be conspecific and propose the latter as a new junior synonym of the former.	en	Astafurova, Yulia V., Proshchalykin, Maxim Yu.
