Abstract :
New data on the distribution of eight Sphecid wasps species
(Hymenoptera: Apoidea: Sphecidae) collected from different localities in
southern areas of Kerman province (southeast Iran) are presented. The
specimens were collected at 21 localities using Malaise traps from April to
September 2017. The identified species belong to three subfamilies,
Ammophilinae André, 1886 (three species, two genera), Sceliphrinae
Ashmead, 1899 (a single species), and Sphecinae Latreille, 1802 (four
species, two genera, two tribes). Palmodes parvulus (Roth, 1967) is newly
recorded for the Iranian fauna, and its diagnostic characters are presented.
