Ammophila globifrontalis LI & YANG ( Figs 673-678 View Figs 658-678 )

Ammophila globifrontalis LI & YANG 1995: 574 , ♀, 3. Holotype: ♀, China: Guangxi Province: Nanning: Forestry Research Institute (Beijing Agricultural University ), not examined.

M a t e r i a l e x a m i n e d:None.

D e s c r i p t i o n: (LI & C.YANG 1995: 574, translated from Chinese by Yan Chengjin): " ♀: Body length 17.0-22.0 mm. Black; underside of scape, femora, tibiae largely and tergum I laterally orange or red-brown; base of mandible, midtarsi, hindtarsi and gastral petiole black or brownish-black; foretarsi orange or dark red-brown; head with long, erect, white or pale yellowish brown setae, thorax with long, erect, white setae. Gastral apex black, with weak metallic blue luster. Frons with deep median furrow, upper frons with two large, arched projections, without setae; ocelli small; free margin of clypeus emarginated medially; mandible with three teeth. Postocellar diameter (ODD): postocellar distance (POD): oculocellar distance (OOD): interocular distance at anterior ocellus (IODP): interocular distance at clypeus (IODC) = 1.0: 2.6-2.9: 3.5-4.3: 10.8-12.9: 10.0-11.3. Relative length of antennal pedicel: flagellomere I: II: III: VIII = 1.5-1.6: 6.1- 7.1: 3.1-4.0: 3.1-3.9: 2.1. Pronotal collar: length: width = 4.0-4.1: 11.6-12.6, transversely, coarsely striate; scutum with transversely, coarse striae; scutellum coarsely, longitudinally striate; mesopleuron weakly rugose-striate, with short episternal sulcus; metanotum densely longitudinally striate; propodeal enclosure coarsely, obliquely striate laterally, lateral side of propodeum coarsely, rugose-striate and punctate; claws without arolia. Hindleg: relative length of tibia: tarsi I: II = 23.6-27.6: 13.0-15. O: 7.0-8.0. Length of gastral petiole: terga I: II = 19.0-22.0: 19.1-22.0: 13.8-14.1.

3: Body length 17.0-22.0 mm. Similar to female. Legs or petiole black or brownishblack; underside of tergum I yellowish-brown or red-brown. Mandible with three teeth; ODD: POD: OOD: IODP: IODC = 1.0: 3.0-3.8: 4.0-5.1: 12.0-14.0: 6.4-7.8. Relative length of antennal pedicel: flagellomere I: II: III: IX = 1.6-1.8: 5.2-6.3: 3.2-4.1: 3.1-4.0: 2.0-2.8. Pronotal collar: length: width = 5.3-6.8: 13.8-15.5. Mesopleuron without distinct rugae-striae; claws with arolia; hindleg: relative length of tibia: tarsi I: II: III = 29.5-30.3: 14.6-16.8: 8.0-8.9: 6.0-6.5. Length of gastral petiole: tergite I = 28.5-35.0: 27.3-32.0. Genitalia with penis valves (as Fig. 677 View Figs 658-678 ) and gonostyle (as in Fig. 678 View Figs 658-678 ).

R e l a t i o n s h i p s: This new species is allied to A. atripes SMITH , but can be easely distinguished from it by the characters of the upper frons with two large, arched projections, without setae, rather small ocelli, white setae on the thorax, the coloration of legs and gaster, and the sculpture of the head and thorax as well as the genitalia."
