Ammophila nancy Menke, a new species in the pruinosa complex (Hymenoptera: Sphecidae: Ammophilinae) Author Menke, Arnold S. text Zootaxa 2007 1546 31 38 journal article 10.5281/zenodo.177995 d2a0098f-17b9-4207-b5e4-13b5ff36fd9a 1175-5326 177995 Ammophila californica Menke ( Figures 2, 5, 8 , 10 , 13 ) Ammophila californica Menke, 1964 :18 . Holotype male, Mill Potrero, north side of Mt. Pinos, California (UCD). Identification: The long mouthparts immediately separate californica from pruinosa and nancy . When folded, the apex of the proboscis reaches or exceeds the base of the stipes ( Fig.10 ). The face between the inner orbits in females is noticeably narrower toward the clypeus than in pruinosa and nancy (compare Fig. 5 with 3 and 4), and the least interocular distance (LID) varies from 0.63 to 0.70 X the upper interocular distance (UID). In females of pruinosa and nancy the inner orbits are less convergent ( Figs. 3–4 ). In these species the LID is at least 0.75 X the UID and is often as much as 0.81 X the UID. The ventral spine of the male penis valve head of californica is similar to that of nancy (compare Figs 11 and 13 ) Geographic range: Most records are from California, but I have seen isolated specimens from Paradise Valley, Humbolt Co., Nevada (UCD), and Notus, Canyon Co., Idaho (UCD).
