03FD87F20E62FFDAFF0FFCB48E65FDAD.taxon	discussion	D i s c u s s i o n. The female of L. ajjer was not described yet. The species was only known by males from the inner Sahara. I could examine a female of the L. ajjer species group from southern Morocco which represent most probable the female of L. ajjer. It agrees with the male description, but Laphyragogus males and females differ markedly in colour, so the male-female association is provisional. Annother hint gives the zoogeografic distribution pattern: the finding location of the female in the extrem south of Morocco close to the Algerian border belongs to the " inner Saharian " distribution pattern. Other species with a similar distribution, as Bembecinus mhamidus SCHMIDEGGER, 2004, described close from the present finding place of L. ajjer in Mhamid, as well as from Mauritania and Mali (SCHMID- EGGER 2004) also occur in this area. So, such a distribution pattern (Tassili des Ajjer – Zagora area) is not unlikely, also taken the large distance of about 1400 kilometers between the type area and Zagora into account.	en	Schmid, Christian (2022): A revision of Laphyragogus KOHL, 1889, with description of a new species (Hymenoptera, Spheciformes).

03FD87F20E62FFDAFF0FFCB48E65FDAD.taxon	diagnosis	D i a g n o s i s L. ajjer belongs to the L. ajjer species group. The lateral spine of S 6 of males is shorter in L ajjer compared with L. orientalis, and similar to that of L. gessi. Yellow colour of mesosoma is more extended in L. ajjer compared with L. gessi.

David Notton kindly send the following information about the types of L. kohlii: « Situation [in Laphyragogus] is complex, there are actually two available names: Leianthrena kohlii BINGHAM in KOHL, 1897: 381; Lianthrena kohlii BINGHAM 1897: 213 (NB – ii ending in both cases). They are synonyms and the valid name is Laphyragogus kohlii (BINGHAM in KOHL, 1897) according to PULAWSKI (2017). In both original descriptions there was no holotype designation and both sexes are described so both names have a syntype series of at least two specimens. It appears that both nominal species are based on the same type series. There is one syntype here, labelled as a female by BINGHAM, but actually a male. The head has been reglued so I cannot be 100 % sure it’s the original. The specimen overall agrees fairly well with the description. I’d recommend designating this syntype as the lectotype of both nominal species so as to confirm the objective synonymy ». Consequently, the male is designated here as lectotype.	en	Schmid, Christian (2022): A revision of Laphyragogus KOHL, 1889, with description of a new species (Hymenoptera, Spheciformes).

03FD87F20E68FFD5FF0FFB3F8EBAFBBE.taxon	discussion	D i s c u s s i o n: DE BEAUMONT (1970) described L. orientalis as a subspecies of his L. ajjer from central Sahara. The male of L. ajjer could not be examined and was therefore not compared directly with L. orientalis. From description (DE BEAUMONT 1958, 1959), it differs from L. orientalis by longer lateral spines of S 6 (spines are not on S 5 as indicated by DE BEAUMONT (1959 )) and by a more extended yellow body colour. The here described female of L. ajjer from southern Morocco also differs from L. orientalis in some colour characters (see description below) and by form of platform of T 6. For these reasons and because of the long distance between both type locations (Tassili des Ajjer in southern Algeria versus eastern Iran) I treat L. orientalis as valid species and not as subspecies of L. ajjer: stat. nov. A Laphyragogus female from United Arab Emirates agree morphologically with the paratype female of L. orientalis, but differ from the type female by a more extended yellow colour pattern (see figures and description). The specimen represents most probable a colour form of L. orientalis from UAE.	en	Schmid, Christian (2022): A revision of Laphyragogus KOHL, 1889, with description of a new species (Hymenoptera, Spheciformes).

The male of L. orientalis can be distinguished from both other species, in this group, L. ajjer and L. gessi, by larger extend of yellow colour, by longer spines of S 6 (twice as long as diameter of hindmetatarsus medially) and by each a lateral tubercle on S 7 and a medial tubercle on S 8. The female can be recognized by large extend of yellow colour on head and mesosoma (see description). The female is unique by having a pointed (or overhanging) apex of platform of T 6, whereas the apex is more or less rectangular in L. gessi and L. ajjer females.

03FD87F20E6DFFD3FF0FFE818F24FA46.taxon	description	D i s c u s s i o n: L. strakai was described by two males from northern UAE. In the meantime, I could examine a female from southern Iran which may be the matching female. It shares a strongly reduced yellow colour pattern (head, mesosoma, and in case of female also abdomen are nearly all black) and the shiny interspaces on mesonotum with the male. The assignment is provisional as in other species (see above), until males and females from one location only can confirm the affiliation of both sexes. The distance between Bandar Abbas in Iran (finding place of the female) and the type area in UAE is only about 100 kilometers, and the smallest diameter of the Persian Gulf between both countries is about 60 kilometers, what makes a species spread to both regions possible. The fauna of southern Iran includes also some other similarities to that of UAE (pers. observation). See also L. orientalis with a similar distribution pattern. D i a g n o s i s: L. strakai belongs to the L. kohlii species group. The male of L. strakai is unique by an apically elevated keel of S 7 and by the prolonged tip of T 2. The female can be recognized by the nearly complete black body (see description) and by larger size. D e s c r i p t i o n o f f e m a l e: Body length 11 mm. Colour: Black with the following parts yellow: mandible except dark red apex, clypeus, AS 1 - 2, pronotal lobe, scape, unclear spot on mesopleuron below scape and on propodeum apico-laterally, femora, tibiae and tarsi with some brownish parts. Wing venation basally yellow, apically brown. Apex of tergites and sternites yellowish, T 6 reddish-brown. Lower face laterally with large silver spots of semi-appressed silver pilosity, covers some parts of clypeus laterally. Remaining head and mesosoma with some erect setae. Morphology: Clypeus and face shiny, clypeus with scattered (1 - 4 diameters apart), face with very dense punctation (0.2 - 0.5 diameters apart). Frons above ocelli with punctless shiny area, as large as foreocellus. Mesonotum shiny, anteriorly with dense, posteriorly with scattered punctation, scutellum and mesonotum also with scattered punctation. Metapleuron and propodeum with fine net-like sculpture, interspaces dull and grainlike. T 1 - 5 with very dense and fine micropunctation. T 6 shiny, with some rugae and puncture. Apical process of foremetatarsus somewhat shorter than remaining metatarsus, tarsal segments 2 - 4 apcially also prolonged. Hindbasitarsus somewhat curved downwards.
