Priocnemis (Umbripennis) bingolensis Schmid-Egger, Yildirim & Kaplan sp. nov.

( Figs 5–8 , 16 )

Holotype: ♀ TURKEY, Bingöl, Genç, Harmancık , N38 o 33’, E40 o 16‘, 17.v.2019 (leg. Kaplan, coll. ABBM).

Diagnosis: The female of P. bingolensis sp. nov. is an all black species ( Fig. 5 ) and resembles P. coriacea Dahlbom, 1843 , by shape and structure of metapostnotum and propodeum. The metapostnotum is weakly striate, propodeal dorsum is coarsely striate and sculptured, and comparatively short ( Fig. 7 ). Priocnemis bingolensis differs by the following characters (characters of P. coriacea in brackets). Gaster black (T1–3, or parts of T3 red). AS 3 1.2x as long as AS 1 ( Fig. 8 ) ( AS 3 as long as AS 1). Large punctation of clypeus reaches ACM apart from small impunctate and polished median zone ( Fig. 6 ) (clypeus with large impunctate and polished band along whole ACM, apical third of clypeus with shiny interspaces). Metapostnotum as long as metanotum (somewhat shorter and deeper impressed). Whole propodeum evely coarsely striate ( Fig. 7 ) (coarse and irregular striation restricted to propodeal declivity).

Description of female holotype: Body length 10.2 mm. Colour. Black, apex of mandible reddish. Pilosity black, some setae of T6 pale. Wings dark infuscate. Morphology: ACM medially slightly advanced. Punctation of clypeus basally fine, medially with larger punctures and small shiny interspaces, in apical third with large punctures and shiny interspace, some punctures confluent to rugae, medio-apically with small impunctate and polished area ( Fig. 6 ). Face wider than long. OOL = 2.2x POL. AS 3 1.2x as long as AS 1 ( Fig. 8 ). Face and mesoscutum with dense and fine punctation, punctation of scutellum and metatotum sparser with shiny interspaces. Metapostnotum as long as metanotum, with four fine striae. MIM small, transverse T-shaped, its interspaces shiny. Propodeum evenly rugostriate, with irregular striation, interspaces dull and with microreticulation ( Fig. 7 ). T1–5 shiny, with fine punctation. Upperside of hindtibia with nine scales, each bearing a short spine. Lateral row of spines along outside, because scales fill the whole upperside. Hindmetatarsus of both legs broken, cannot be described. Pronotum, prosternum and forecoxa with long pilosity, setae of pronotum half as long as setae of pronotum and prosternum, the latter as long as coxal diameter. Midtiba with 3–4 longer and a few shorter setae, longest setae half diameter of tibia.

The male is unknown.

Distribution: Eastern Turkey.

Etymology: The name is derived from the area of origin of the holotype. Bingöl is a province in Eastern Turkey.
