8E6D878AC10E5522FF063C6D0BB4FDF0.taxon	description	D i a g n o s i s The female of B. yemenenis is a member of the B. tridens species group sensu SCHMID - EGGER (2004). It is unique by the following color pattern: terga I, II and IV with pale yellow band, tergum III and VI black, tergum V with medial spot, clypeus yellow with large brownish medial spot. Propodeal emargination deeply U-shaped. In the similar B. proximus HANDLIRSCH, also recorded from Yemen, tergal band I is largely interrupted medially, propodeal emargination lacks. Another similar species with a deep propodeal emargination is B. corpulentus ARNOLD from southern Africa. Here, tergal band I is also largely interrupted. Bembecinus bytinskii DE BEAUMONT from the Arabian peninsule differs by having a full band on tergum III and a black tergum IV. I d e n t i f i c a t i o n: WiththekeyofSCHMID- EGGER (2004), the female keys out in Nr. 14 a, B. proximus HANDLIRSCH, in the female key. It can be identified by the following addition (replace B. proximus with 14 a.) 14 a Tergal band I widely interrupted medially.

8E6D878AC1085524FF063A600AE1FC59.taxon	description	R e m a r k s: The female recognition of B. cyprius / meridionalis is still difficult. In the meantime I could examine several specimens of both species from Eastern Greece and Western Turkey. The species identification was confirmed by the finding of unambiguous males together with females from the same location. The females keys out as B. meridionalis (SCHMID- EGGER 2004, key nr. 54. / 56, specimens with space above clypeus yellow.). New distinction characters between B. meridionalis and B. cyprius are listed in table 1. B. meridionalis female B. cyprius female Scape (seen in frontal view) pre- Scape in greater part brownish. dominantly yellow, with small brownish part at innerside. Apex of sternum VI with reddish Apex of sternum VI with brownish setae setae Apical innerside of tibia III black. Apical innerside of tibia III reddish. Tergum VI black Tergum VI in some specimens with small yellow spot Tergal bands II-IV medially only Tergal bands II-IV medially with slightly enlarged. large, rectangular enlargement Body size in average larger than Body size in average 9 - 10 mm 10 mm. A female of B. cyprius from Bodrum agree with the below described form, but has an predominantly yellow scape and is somewhat larger (11 mm) than females from Isparta and Burdur. Tergum VI has a large yellow spot. Bembecinus meridionalis females from southern Turkey and Israel have an all yellow hindtibia and differ in color from western Turkish specimens (SCHMID- EGGER 2004). It is not sure how to distinguish these females from B. cyprius in southern Turkey.

8E6D878AC10A5527FF063DB50B31FB27.taxon	description	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.

The new examined male agree in all details with the type specimen. The female was unknown and is described below. D e s c r i p t i o n a n d d i a g n o s i s o f f e m a l e In the key of SCHMID- EGGER (2004), the female of B. schlaeflei keys out at B. decoratus GUICHARD (Nr. 37 a). It agree with B. decoratus in color pattern and morphology and can be distinguished as follows: Basal third of clypeus and space above clypeus black, narrow yellow band on inner eye margin (clypeus black with some yellow in baso-medial part in B. decoratus), clypeus in profile flat (somewhat bulged medially in basal third in B. decoratus). Bembecinus decoratus is known from the Arabian Peninsule. Female of B. acanthomerus MORICE from Morocco has an all yellow clypeus and large yellow spots on propodeum laterally (propodeum all black in B. schlaeflei).
