03D5879DFF8DFFB1FF54FE82D35EFC4A.taxon	description	Variation. The female from Jebel Shams has a reduced yellow band on T 2, which covers only the apical half of the tergite (Fig. 1). T 2 is all yellow in the remaining specimens, apart from the black apex (Fig. 2).	en	Schmid-Egger, Christian (2022): The genus Ctenagenia Saussure, 1892 (Hymenoptera: Pompilidae) in Oman with description of a new species.

03D5879DFF8DFFB1FF54FE82D35EFC4A.taxon	distribution	Distribution in the Arabian peninsula. The species was previously found in Yemen, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (Gadallah et al. 2020; Schmid-Egger 2017). Ctenagenia vespiformis is new to the fauna of Oman and was recorded from both the northern provinces and Dhofar province in the extreme south of Oman.	en	Schmid-Egger, Christian (2022): The genus Ctenagenia Saussure, 1892 (Hymenoptera: Pompilidae) in Oman with description of a new species.

03D5879DFF8DFFB3FF54F961D57BFC4A.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Ctenagenia wahisi sp. nov. agrees in general aspects with C. vespiformis. It is characterized by colour pattern. T 1 – 6 are in greater part or completely yellow, and the mesosoma is black (Figs 3 – 4). In C. ozbeki and C. vespiformis T 1 is black or red (Figs 1 – 2) (with a very small spot on some C. vespiformis males), and the mesosoma and abdomen are all yellow with some pale red in C. pagliano female. The male of C. pagliano is undescribed. Also, the setae of the head and propodeum are shorter and more sparse in C. wahisi sp. nov. (Fig. 6), compared to C. vespiformis. The foremetatarsus of the female has five spines in C. vespiformis, and four spines in the other species, including C. wahisi sp. nov. (Fig. 7). The ocelli of C. wahisi sp. nov. are smaller than in the remaining species (Fig. 6), and the propodeal surface is more finely sculptured than in C. vespiformis. The male of C. wahisi sp. nov. is also characterized by having a higher and more rounded keel of S 8 (seen in lateral view, Fig. 8), compared to C. vespiformis (Fig. 9). T 1 is predominantly yellow, and all black or at most with a small medial yellow spot in C. vespiformis.	en	Schmid-Egger, Christian (2022): The genus Ctenagenia Saussure, 1892 (Hymenoptera: Pompilidae) in Oman with description of a new species.

03D5879DFF8DFFB3FF54F961D57BFC4A.taxon	description	Description of female holotype. Body length 20.0 mm. Colour. Black, with the following parts dark yellow: T 1 with large rectangular median spot, T 2 except large dark lateral margin, T 3 – 6 completely, with darker lateral margins. S 3 – 6 yellowish brown (Fig. 3). Face, foreleg, metapostnotum and base of S 2 with distinct red shimmer. Wing base black, wings yellowish, extreme apex of forewing dark. Wing venation in apical half of wing brown, in basal half yellow. Morphology. Labrum large, apicomedially with small impression. Clypeus clearly bulged medially, ACM nearly straight (Fig. 5). Ocelli and proportions of vertex see Fig. 3. Head below and prosternum with many short, black bristles. Antenna long and slender, AS 3 as long as foremetatarsus. Hind margin of mesopleuron along metapleuron and propodeum with furrow, „ gridded “ by small stripes. Horizontal propodeal surface short, 1 / 3 as long as whole length of propodeum. Metapostnotum deeply recessed between metanotum and propodeum, medially as large as midocellar diameter. Propodeal declivity slightly concave. Propodeum with fine, velvet-like surface, laterally with few dark setae, somewhat shorter than medial diameter of AS 3. Forebasitarsus with four spines (Fig. 7). Legs asetose, except with few very short setae on upper side of femora. T 6 with few and S 6 with many long black bristles. Variation in female paratype. The female paratype is distinctly smaller than the holotype (16.0 mm), the face and antenna are more reddish (antenna partly orange reddish), and the horizontal part of the propodeum is longer than in holotype (ca. 50 % of propodeal length). Description of male paratype. Body length 11.5 mm. Agrees in colour pattern and general aspects of morphology with the female (Fig. 4), with the following exceptions: face and antenna black with light reddish shimmer (as in female paratype), inner eye margin with some orange-yellow markings. Pronotum, mesopleuron and mesoscutum with reddish shimmer. T 1 all yellow except base and lateral parts of T 1. Metapostnotum narrow, medially half long as midocellar diameter. Horizontal part of propodeum 2 / 3 as long as whole propodeum. S 8 with high keel, in lateral view with apex distinctly rounded (Fig. 8).	en	Schmid-Egger, Christian (2022): The genus Ctenagenia Saussure, 1892 (Hymenoptera: Pompilidae) in Oman with description of a new species.
