Notes.
Eumenes cyrenaicus is similarly coloured as E. dubius f. palaestinensis Blüthgen, 1938 from Asia Minor, but E. cyrenaicus has the yellow stripe of the eye incision narrow or absent (wide in E. dubius f. palaestinensis ) and the clypeus sparser setose (densely silvery setose in E. dubius f. palaestinensis ). Males can be separated by the shape of the antennal hook (in ventral view normal in E. cyrenaicus and widened in E. dubius f. palaestinensis ) and sculpture of fifth sternite (distinctly punctate in E. cyrenaicus and punctulate in E. dubius f. palaestinensis ). Typical E. dubius f. palaestinensis has the apical lamella of the second tergite yellow and in E. cyrenaicus light brown or yellowish (Fig. 65 View Figures 65–74 ); Sardinia, Spain and Portugal, N Africa) to blackish brown (Italy, N Macedonia, Greece, Bulgaria, Turkey, but sometimes also pale brown (Fig. 55 View Figures 55–64 ); Gusenleitner (1972) already mentioned the variability of this character for E. dubius in Asia. The separation of E. cyrenaicus from E. sareptanus is mostly based on colour differences and, therefore, may be problematic. In general, females of E. cyrenaicus have a more robust first tergite, including the petiolate part and males have the antennal hook more curved than in E. sareptanus .
