Remarks.

The studied specimen is remarkably darker than it is typical for S. chitgarensis . Particularly, it lacks a yellow pattern on the clypeus, scapus, scutellum, propodeum, coxae, T6, and S3-6. Two lateral spots on T2, which are diagnostic for this species ( Giordani Soika 1970, Gusenleitner 1981), are also absent. At the same time, there are no differences in the structure from the typical specimens of S. chitgarensis from neighboring Azerbaijan ( Fateryga et al. 2019).
