Odynerus collariventris Giordani Soika, 1942: 60 , ♂ (in subgenus Rhynchium ) — “ Creta ” (? type lost). Euodynerus disconotatus albidus Blüthgen, 1951b: 70 (key), 73, ♂ (in subgenus Euodynerus ) — “ Insel Rhodus ” (ZMB [examined]). Euodynerus disconotatus laniensis Giordani Soika, 1979: 253 , ♂ , ♀ — “ Cipro : Lania ” (? holotype male lost, paratypes in MSNVE [examined]). Distribution. Western and central Palaearctic, ranging from the Iberian Peninsula to Central Asia and descending into the Middle East and Pakistan ( Fateryga et al. 2021 ). Notes. Traditionally, two subspecies were recognized in addition to the nominotypical one: laniensis Giordani Soika from Cyprus and sulfuripes (Morawitz) ranging from Turkey and Arabian Peninsula to Central Asia and Pakistan . These subspecies were recently synonymized under the nominotypical one by Fateryga et al. (2021) , who considered the differences presented by previous authors as simple intraspecific variability. Specimens ranging from Italy to Central Asia and Cyprus were sequenced not showing any genetic difference ( Fig. 2 ), further confirming the synonymy of these two taxa under nominotypical E. disconotatus .
