Hymenoptera Ampulicidae Crabronidae Heterogynaidae Sphecidae (s.s.) genera Arabian Peninsula

Abstract

An updated illustrated key is given for 74 genera of Sphecidae (s.l.) present in the Arabian Peninsula. The key comprises 13 more genera than are recorded in Guichard’s key (1986) to the same area. Some taxonomic problems are discussed.
