Ergebnisse der Albanien-Expedition 1961 des Deutschen Entomologischen Institutes. 79. Beitrag. Hymenoptera: Vespidae, Eumenidae, Masaridae.

Abstract

This study is based on the collection made by the expedition to Albania by Deutsches Entomologisches Institut which contains 221 individuals of 32 species and subspecies. Earlier collections made in Albania had yielded 29 individuals of 11 other species and subspecies, bringing the total to 250 individuals of 43 species and subspecies. The evaluation showed 20 first finds for Albania and 2 entirely new species. Including the separately described forms and previous publications, a total of 67 taxa are listed; of these, however, 6 must be cancelled for Albania, at least for the time being, because they were wrongly identified or the finds were made outside the territory of the People's Republic of Albania. The listed species and subspecies are divided among the three families as follows: 14 Vespidae (13 of them from material of the expedition by Deutsches Entomologisches Institut), 42 Eumenidae (19 of them from material of this expedition and 11 from other material) and 1 Masaridae (from material of this expedition).
