Sphex flavipennis FABRICIUS 1793 79, 196

N o t e: The presence in most females of appressed white setae on the pronotal collar and scutum identifies S. flavipennis and separates the species from the similar S. funerarius which lacks such pubescense. Unfortunately the appressed setae are poorly developed in some poulations, and in older material they are often worn away. In such cases association with males offer the only reliable means of identification (MENKE & PULAWSKI 2000: 331). Males can be identified by characteristic placoids on flagellomeres V-VII.
