Table 3 in The wasp genus Sphex in Sub-Saharan Africa (Hymenoptera: Sphecidae)

Table 3 (continued on next page). Table for quick-identification of males based on placoid configuration. Each flagellomere is represented by three symbols, each of which describes the form of the placoid in the respective approximate third of the segment. If all subspecies have identical placoid configurations, they are combined as sensu lato (‘s. lat.’). Notable, but unnamed variations are listed below the respective taxon as ‘var.’. The presence of an arrow indicates that different specimens can vary between the states shown, with intermediate forms occurring. The names of new species are highlighted in bold. Legend: ‘-’ = placoid absent; ‘o’ = placoid narrow; ‘O’ = placoid broad
