Sepedon sphegea subsp. sphegea Fabricius 1775

Description

Sepedon sphegea sphegea Fabricius, 1775

Material. Gergebil Reservoir, 42.45 ° N, 47.03 ° E, 795 m, 12.09.2022, O. Kosterin, 1♂; Samur Delta Forest, 41.86 ° N, 48.56 ° E, 15.09.2022, O. Kosterin, 1♂; Samur Delta Forest, Primorskiy env., 41.85 ° N, 48.55 ° E, 23– 28.04.2023, N. Vikhrev, 1♀.

Remarks. Here we follow our previous publication (Vikhrev, Yanbulat 2019), where two forms of S. sphegea, with a dark antennal scape or with a yellowish scape, are considered as subspecies. The nominotypic S. s. sphegea is distributed in the northwest of Eurasia, while S. s. aenescens Wiedemann, 1830 — in its southeast. Taking the opportunity, we want to clarify the distribution of these subspecies in Southwest Asia. S. s. sphegea was recorded from the Caucasus (from Krasnodar Region of Russia to Azerbaijan), N. Iran (Markazi province) and N. Turkey (Sakarya province). S. s. aenescens was recorded from S. Turkey (Antalya province) and S. Iran (Sistan and Baluchestan province).
