Arachnospila ( Ammosphex ) hirsutifrons : Shimizu 1996: 510. Diagnosis of male. The male of this species is easily distinguished from other males of Arachnospila ( Ammosphex ) abnormis -species group (hypopygium ventro-preapically with tuft of long erect setae medially) by roof-like hypopygium without any row of setae or bristles baso-laterally (Figs 9, 10 vs . 1 –8, 11, 12). The male of this species differs from very similar A. ( A. ) kurentzovi Lelej, 1995 by having hypopygium rounded apically (acuminate apically in A. ( A. ) kurentzovi ) (Fig. 9 vs . 7). Genitalia as in Fig. 41. Diagnosis of female. The female of this species is similar to that of Arachnospila ( Ammosphex ) abnormis (Dahlbom, 1842) by having apical spine of first protarsomere more than 0.5 of protarsomere 2 in length, by shiny frons, by ratio of first flagellomere length to its width 3.2–3.9, and by protarsomere 1 with three spines, but clearly differs by curved 2 rs-m vein of fore wing (straight 2 rs-m vein in A. ( A. ) abnormis ) (Fig. 106 vs . 95). Clypeus as in Fig. 64. Metapostnotum as in Fig. 84. Material examined. RUSSIA.
