Remarks. Cockerell (1924) noted that Sphecodes sibiricus very close to S. japonicus (= S. scabricolis ), but slightly differs from it by size of stigma and form of fore wing marginal cell. He noted also similarity S. sibiricus with S. scabricolis , but wrote: “the strongly brown wings separate it from this”. We studied material of S. scabricolis from Europe, Central Asia, and Siberia and recorded variablity of wing characteristic noted by Cockerell. The photos of holotype of S. sibiricus indicate identity with S. scabricolis . In this special case, the Type Specimen Database of the NMNH (http://collections.nmnh.si.edu/search/ento/) proved to be extremely useful. : Published as part of Astafurova, Yulia V. & Proshchalykin, Maxim Yu., 2014, The bees of the genus Sphecodes Latreille 1804 of the Russian Far East, with key to species (Hymenoptera: Apoidea: Halictidae), pp. 501-528 in Zootaxa 3887 (5) on pages 519-520, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3887.5.1, http://zenodo.org/record/251121 : {"references": ["Wesmael, C.
