9D50A226FF92FF8C5DB6FA6FFD98F917.taxon	discussion	Remarks. R. Ishikawa (1965 a) proposed a new subspecies, E. minor itoi, based on the following characters: third radiomedial vein of forewing weakly arched, as in Fig. 38 (subangulate in E. minor minor, as in Fig. 34), erect setae on metasoma apically from whitish to pale fulvous (dark in E. minor minor). We studied 33 females of E. minor from the south of the Russian Far East, Japan (Hokkaido, Honshu) and China (Henan). These females possess both variations of each character, therefore we consider E. minor itoi Ishikawa, 1965 a junior subjective synonym of E. minor Gussakovskij, 1932.	en	Loktionov, Valery M., Lelej, Arkady S., Xu, Zaifu (2017): Review of the genus Eopompilus Gussakovskij, 1932 (Hymenoptera: Pompilidae) with the description of new species from China.

9D50A226FF94FF8F5DB6F938FC5DFC52.taxon	biology_ecology	Biology. The material from Russia was collected by a light trap, but these wasps are also active at day time. The host, Araneus ventricosus (L. Koch, 1878) (new record) is a large spider with abdomen length 15 – 17 mm, which makes a round web. The female was observed near the spiderweb and touching the distal line of the web with the wing. The female then waited for the spider on the nearest leaf of tree or bush. When the spider was caught and paralyzed, the female transported it (Fig. 43) moving on the ground by head first to a nest. The nests were observed under stones, on the roof and in the basement of wood buildings located near a forest. The female did not amputate the spider's legs. In Primorskij Terr. the female is active in mid-August – mid-September. During this period one female can hunt at least ten females of Araneus ventricosus.	en	Loktionov, Valery M., Lelej, Arkady S., Xu, Zaifu (2017): Review of the genus Eopompilus Gussakovskij, 1932 (Hymenoptera: Pompilidae) with the description of new species from China.
