Name

Elampus Spinola, 1806 – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile

• Elampus Spinola, 1806: 10.
• Ellampus Agassiz, 1846: 136.
• Notozus Förster, 1853: 351.

Note

This genus has been treated as a subgenus of Omalus by some authors (e.g. Linsenmaier 1959, 1997). It is well characterised by the shape of the metascutellum, which has a large tongue-like projection dorsally (Fig. 38). The posterior margin of T3 is usually extended into a horseshoe-shaped or falcate rim forming truncation (Figs 39–40, 44–46). The female has a row of dense and erect setae along the genal margin (Fig. 41). These setae are replaced by long irregularly placed bristles in the male. The hosts are ground-nesting crabronid wasps, such as Mimesa Shuckard and Mimumesa Malloch (Kimsey and Bohart 1991). The genus is distributed in the Palearctic Region (more than 40 species), North America (8 species), Africa (7 species) and South America (3 species) (Kimsey and Bohart 1991, Linsenmaier 1999, Madl and Rosa 2012). A total of 12 species have been found in Europe (Rosa and Soon 2012), and three of these occur in the Nordic and Baltic countries (Paukkunen et al. 2014).

1		Lateral margin of T3 with a narrow notch between apical truncation and semitransparent lateral protrusion (Fig. 39). Apical truncation of T3 horseshoe-shaped with nearly straight ventral margins (Fig. 44)    Elampus panzeri (Fabricius)
–		Lateral margin of T3 slightly convex or almost straight between apical truncation and semi-transparent lateral protrusion (Fig. 40). Apical truncation with pointed or rounded ventral margins (Figs 45, 46)    2
2		Apical truncation falcate with pointed margins ventrally (Fig. 45). Punctation of T2 dense and regular. Scrobal carina reaches omaulus at its anterior corner (Fig. 42). First flagellomere of female approximately four times as long as broad    Elampus constrictus (Förster)
–		Apical truncation horseshoe-shaped with rounded margins ventrally (Fig. 46). Punctation of T2 dense, usually with an impunctate central line anteriorly. Scrobal carina reaches omaulus below its anterior protrusion (Fig. 43). First flagellomere of female approximately three times as long as broad    Elampus foveatus (Mocsáry)
