Sphex ichneumoneus (LINNAEUS 1758) 22, 25 (compared with det. Kohl, NHMW)

N o t e: I cannot distinguish S. jamaicensis (DRURY 1773) from S. ichneumoneus , which is very variable in color and male flagellum. The shape of male genitalia from the one specimen of Jamaica is like that of the specimens from Guyana French and Argentinia. Maybe these species are synonymous?
