Males can be distinguished by ventral lobe of the aedeagus apically rounded ( +Fig. 1G +; vs. rather triangularly pointed in + +A. trifasciatus + +, +Fig. 1H +). An additional character is the coloration of the hind tibia: usually completely black in the female ( +Fig. 2A +) (very rarely with small yellow spot, +Fig. 2B +) and completely black ( +Fig. 2E +) to at least black dorsally ( +Fig. 2F +) in the male. Other characters mentioned in the key by + +Budrys +et al. +(2023 + +, Supplement 3) can be also applied but they are also variable and therefore less diagnostic. + + + + +Remarks. +The identity of + +Odynerus shibuyai + +is understood by us following +Yamane (1990) +and +Kim & Yamane (2009) +; the +holotype +was not available for study. It is absent from the drawer with the type specimens of taxa described by K. Yasumatsu in the Kyushu University and may be deposited among unsorted material (Toshiharu Mita, personal communication). + + + +Ancistrocerus trifasciatus moeschleri + +was placed by +van der Vecht & Fischer (1972) +among synonyms of + +A. trifasciatus trifasciatus + +following +Blüthgen (1961) +. The +holotype +of + +A. trifasciatus moeschleri + +was not available for our study; however, its diagnosis, particularly completely black mid and hind legs in the female ( +Blüthgen 1938 +), suggests that it is conspecific rather with + +A. shibuyai + +; therefore, we hereby recognize + +A. trifasciatus moeschleri + +as a synonym of + +A. shibuyai + +, and not as a synonym of + +A. trifasciatus + +. + +Budrys +et al. +(2023 + +, Supplement 3: 6) supposed that + +A. trifasciatus moeschleri + +was a melanistic variety of + +A. trifasciatus + +; however, this is not so probable because there are no specific conditions (e.g., mountains with high elevation) in the type locality of + +A. trifasciatus moeschleri + +. + +Odynerus shibuyai + +, + +A. trifasciatus moeschleri + +, and + +O. trifasciatus orientalis + +were described in the same year. We do not know the exact date of publication for +Kostylev’s (1938) +paper but his name is anyway invalid due to the homonymy with + +O. orientalis +Dalla Torre, 1889 + +(Art. 57.2 of +ICZN 1999 +). Among two remaining names, +Yasumatsu’s (1938) +paper was published in March (dating from +Pulawski 2024 +), while +Blüthgen’s (1938) +paper was published in May (dating from http://hbs.bishopmuseum.org/dating/sherbornia/konowia.html). Thus, the valid name for the species previously known as both + +A. trifasciatus shibuyai + +and + +A. balticus + +is + +A. shibuyai + +. + + +Kostylev (1938: 305) +indicated the type material of + +O. trifasciatus orientalis + +as follows: “Type: + +Jakovlevka, Ussuri, +10/IX 1926 +, Djakonov et Filipjev; + +—Jakovlevka, Ussuri, +21/VI 1926 +, Djakonov et Filipjev”. Therefore, it is unclear whether he designated the female only as the type (the +holotype +according to Art. 73.1.1 of +ICZN 1999 +) or both specimens ( +syntypes +according to Art. 73.2 of +ICZN 1999 +). He also reported ( +Kostylev 1938: 302 +) that the type specimens of the taxa described in his paper were deposited in ZMMU; however, we failed to find corresponding specimens of + +O. trifasciatus orientalis + +in that collection but discovered them in ZISP. These +two specimens +correspond in full to Kostylev’s description; however, they were not properly labeled. The female specimen is designated here as the +lectotype +in accordance with Art. 74.7.3 of +ICZN (1999) +, for the purpose of nomenclature stability and correct application of the name + +O. trifasciatus orientalis + +. + + + +FIGURE 1 +. + +Ancistrocerus shibuyai +(Yasumatsu) + +( +A +, +B +, +E +, +G +) and + +A. trifasciatus +(Müller) + +( +C +, +D +, +F +, +H +). +A +, +E +, ♀, Primorskiy Territory; +B +, ♂, Nizhniy Novgorod Province; +C +, +F +, ♀, Nizhniy Novgorod Province; +D +, +H +, ♂, Kabardino-Balkaria; +G +, ♂, Novosibirsk Province. +A–D +, habitus in dorsal view; +E +, +F +, antero-ventral part of metasoma in lateral view; +G +, +H +, aedeagus in lateral view (vl, ventral lobe).

We, however, do not support the idea to recognize subspecies in vespid wasps. As introduced by +Nixon & Wheeler (1990) +and later applied to vespids by various authors (e.g. +Carpenter 1988 +; + +Tan +et al. +2014 + +; +Hermes & de Oliveira 2016 +; +Selis 2018 +; + +Fateryga +et al. +2021 + +; +Selis & Carpenter 2023 +; + +Selis +et al. +2024 + +), the subspecific rank has no place in a taxonomic system based on phylogeny and therefore the numerous taxa considered as subspecies must be revised to ascertain their actual status, whether as simple synonyms or as distinct species. + + + + + +Material examined. +LECTOTYPE +Of + +ODYNERUS TRIFASCIATUS ORIENTALIS +(DESIGNATED HERE) + +: + + +, labeled “Яковлевка Спас. у. / Уссур. кр.

Since the type depository of + +V. trifasciata +Müller, 1776 + +is unknown ( +van der Vecht & Fischer 1972 +), the type material can be actually lost and we cannot clarify its diagnostic characters. In our opinion, a +neotype +should be designated to keep nomenclature stability (Art. 75.3 of +ICZN 1999 +) but we do not have examined any specimen from the type locality (either +Denmark +or +Norway +). Such a specimen should be corresponding to the traditional treatment of + +A. trifasciatus + +( +Blüthgen 1961 +; + +Budrys +et al. +2023 + +; present paper) and, since + +A. trifasciatus + +and + +A. shibuyai + +can be easily distinguished by DNA barcoding ( + +Budrys +et al. +2023 + +), the COI-5P gene of a possible +neotype +should be barcoded prior to its designation (cf. Selis +et al. +2023). + + + +FIGURE 2 +.

Scale bars: 1 mm. + + + +The name + +V. trifasciata +Fabricius, 1787 + +is also doubtful due to a lack of the description of important characters in the original publication. However, this name is anyway permanently invalid due to the homonymy with + +V. trifasciata +Müller, 1776 + +(Art. 57.2 of +ICZN 1999 +). As for the names + +Odynerus trimarginatus + +and + +O. tricinctus + +, their descriptions are enough to clarify their conspecificity with + +A. trifasciatus + +(in its traditional treatment) due to the leg color specified ( +Zetterstedt 1838 +) or even illustrated ( +Herrich-Schäffer 1841 +). + + +It is also to be noted that in +Gusenleitner’s (1995) +paper, fig. 4 labeled as + +A. trifasciatus + +actually depicts + +A. oviventris +( +Wesmael, 1836 +) + +, while fig. 5 labeled as + +A. oviventris + +depicts rather + +A. shibuyai + +than + +A. trifasciatus + +. + + + + +Material examined. +233 ♀ +, +239 ♂ +. +AUSTRIA +: Hausbach bei Innerbreitenau; Vicinity of Linz; Zeissberg bei Freistadt. +GERMANY +: Vicinity of Dresden. +SWEDEN +: +Stokholm +. +FINLAND +: Rajala; Rajala, Saimaa Canal; Raucharanta, Saimaa Canal. +CZECH REPUBLIC +: Čelákovice. +SLOVAKIA +: Zádiel. +POLAND +: Danzig [Gdańsk]; +Silesia +, Caralath [Siedlisko]. +ESTONIA +: Hapsal [Haapsalu]; Narva; Verro. +BELARUS +: +Brest Province +, vicinity of Pinsk; +Minsk Province +, Loshnitsa; Pinsk; +Vitebsk Province +, Ambrosovichi; +Vitebsk Province +, Lepel District, Postrezhye; +Vitebsk +Uezd [ +Vitebsk Province +without details]. +UKRAINE +: Bila Tserkva, Alexandria Dendropark; +Kharkov +; +Kiev +; Mirgorod Uezd, Yereski; +Poltava Province +, Gadyach; +Vinnytsia Province +, Yanov [Ivaniv]; Zhitomir Province, Berdichev. +MOLDOVA +: +Bendery +, Kitskany. +RUSSIA +. + +EUROPEAN PART +, +NORTH-WEST +. +Novgorod Province + +: Borovichi; Valday Uezd. + +Pskov Province + +: Gdov Uezd, Glebova Gorka; Novorzhev Uezd, [Bezhanitsi District] Aparino; Novorzhev Uezd, [Bezhanitsi District] Kalinino; Sushchevo Station. + +Saint Petersburg +and +Leningrad Province + +: Baltic Port; Chernaya Lakhta; Duderhof Heights; Gatchina; Kolomäggi [Kolomyagi]; Levashovo; Luga; Martyshkino; Pargola [Pargolovo]; Peterhof; Popovka; Primorskaya Railroad, Borskaya [Borovaya] Station; +Saint Petersburg +; +Saint Petersburg +, Chernaya River; +Saint Petersburg +, +Moscow +Highway; +Saint Petersburg +, Smolenskoye Cemetery; Siverskiy, Mezhino; Terijoki [Zelenogorsk]; Tolmachevo; Udelnaya Station; Volkovo; Zamanilovka. + +EUROPEAN PART +, +NORTH +. +Arkhangelsk Province + +: +Arkhangelsk +; Mudyugskiy Beacon; Solovki [Solovetskiye Ostrova]. + +Karelia + +: Petrozavodsk; Povenets. + +Murmansk Province + +: Kola, Kola River bank; Vicinity of +Murmansk +. + +Vologda Province + +: Gryazovets; +Vologda +. + +EUROPEAN PART +, +CENTRAL +. +Belgorod Province + +: Khotmyzhsk. + +Bryansk Province + +: Orlovskiye Dvoriki. + +Ivanovo Province + +: +Ivanovo +. + +Kostroma Province + +: +Kostroma +; Troitsa; Vicinity of +Kostroma +. + +Kursk Province + +: Vicinity of +Kursk +; Vicinity of +Kursk +, Selizovo. + +Mordovia + +: Ruzayevka District, vicinity of Boldovo. + +Moscow +and +Moscow Province + +: Izmailovo; Kashira Station; Kashira Uezd, Sredneye; Klyazma [Pushkino]; Krylatskoye; Leonovo; +Moscow +; Mytishchi; Nikolo-Peshnoshskiy Monastery; Peredelkino; Ruza; Valuyevo; Vicinity of +Moscow +; Zvenigorod. + +Nizhniy Novgorod Province + +: Arzamas District, vicinity of Pustyn; Arzamas District, vicinity of Staraya Pustyn; Balakhna District, Maloye Kozino; Kstovo District, vicinity of Igumnovo; +Nizhniy Novgorod +, Avtozavodskoy District; +Nizhniy Novgorod +, Priokskiy District; +Nizhniy Novgorod +, Striginskiy Bor Park; Tonkino District, Aleshino; Tonkino District, Tonkino; Vetluga District, Kalinino. + +Ryazan Province + +: Dankov Uezd, [Miloslavskoye District] Gremyachka. + +Tver Province + +: Bologoye; Doroshikha; Rzhev. + +Yaroslavl Province + +: Berditsino; Norskoye; +Yaroslavl +; Zhedenovo. + +EUROPEAN PART +, +EAST +. +Kirov Province + +: Vyatka Governorate. + +Samara Province + +: Kinel; +Samara +. + +EUROPEAN PART +, +SOUTH +.
