discussion

Remarks. Cockerell (1924) noted that Sphecodes sibiricus very close to S. japonicus (= S. scabricolis), but slightly differs from it by size of stigma and form of fore wing marginal cell. He noted also similarity S. sibiricus with S. scabricolis, but wrote: “ the strongly brown wings separate it from this ”. We studied material of S. scabricolis from Europe, Central Asia, and Siberia and recorded variablity of wing characteristic noted by Cockerell. The photos of holotype of S. sibiricus indicate identity with S. scabricolis. In this special case, the Type Specimen Database of the NMNH (http: // collections. nmnh. si. edu / search / ento /) proved to be extremely useful.
