03B5DE34FFD9F26443CDFA78D450FDD3.taxon	description	R e c o g n i t i o n: Ammophila crassifemoralis has a forewing with two submarginal cells and the gastral apex is black, without a metallic shine. The pronotal collar is distinctly, transversely ridged, the mesothoracic venter is not produced anteriorly, the episternal sulcus ends at the level of scrobe, the arolia are present and the claws have no basal tooth. The supra- antennal lamellate projection is absent. Erect setae present only on head and prothorax. The female of A. crassifemoralis is similar to A. saussurei but differs in having a simple longitudinally ridged scutellum and metanotum and on the scutum a triangular patch of pale golden appressed setae anteriorly (A. saussurei has a medially rised scutellum and metanotum (Fig. 530) and the scutum without triangular patch anteriorly). The female of A. namibiensis differs from A. crassifemoralis in having the pronotal collar finely, transversely striate (Fig. 86) and the episternal sulcus extends to the anteroventral margin of the mesopleuron. The male of A. crassifemoralis shares with A. tuberculiscutis and A. saussurei the forewing with two submarginal cells, but differs in having the clypeal free margin truncate (Fig. 158) and a simple scutellum and metanotum (A. tuberculiscutis has the clypeus triangularly produced (Fig. 155) and the scutellum and the metanotum are elevate medially to form an elongate tubercle, Fig. 529); A. saussurei has the clypeus elongate with a slight emargination medially (Fig. 156) and an elevate metanotum (Fig. 530). The male of A. namibiensis differs from A. crassifemoralis in having the pronotal collar and the scutum finely, transversely striate (Figs 244, 286).

03B5DE34FFF4F24843CDFA25D47BFB1F.taxon	description	R e c o g n i t i o n: Ammophila peringueyi has a gaster apex black, without metallic shine. The episternal sulcus extends to the anteroventral margin of the mesopleuron, the arolia are present and the claws have no basal tooth. The pronotal collar is fairly long, it is elevate in the middle and excavated on each side of the middle, the excavating sloping forwards; viewed from above, it therefore appears bluntly trituberculate, the rounded shoulders forming the outer tubercles (ARNOLD 1928: 269). The female of A. dolichocephala is similar to A. peringueyi but differs in having the pronotal collar not distinctly trituberculate (Fig. 137) and the scutum laterally and on posterior half with lateral striae. The female of A. turneri is similar to A. peringueyi but differs in having the pronotal collar dorsomedially elevate, subconical (Fig. 135) and coarsely punctate (A. peringueyi has the pronotal collar with few small punctures and trituberculate). D e s c r i p t i o n: (ARNOLD 1928: 269): Gaster apex black, without metallic shine. Episternal sulcus extends to anteroventral margin of mesopleuron, mesopleuron venter not produced anteriorly, arolia present and claws have no basal tooth. ♀: 25 mm.

Pronotum slightly shiny, with few small punctures on collar. Pronotal collar elevate medially and excavated on each side, excavation sloping forwards, viewed from above appears bluntly trituberculate, rounded shoulders forming outer tubercles (Fig. 133). Scutum dull, shallowly and sparsely punctate, punctures not much larger than those on face, laterally near tegula and on posterior fourth medially with trace of feebly transverse rugae. Scutellum punctate and impressed longitudinally medially. Mesopleuron, metapleuron and propodeum laterally dull, punctatorugose.
