Nomada aswensis Tsuneki, 1973 View in CoL View at ENA

Figures 5−7 View FIGURE 5 View FIGURE 6 View FIGURE 7 .

Nomada aswensis Tsuneki 1973: 100–103 View in CoL ; Alexander & Schwarz 1994: 245; Mitai & Tadauchi 2007: 45–49.

Diagnosis. Body length 4.54–6.17 mm in female, 4.82–6.05 mm in male. Recognized by HTS; amber, three to four in number, posteriormost setae thin and long, the remaining short, leaf-like shaped, mostly stout but subacute apically in female; light brown, three in number, posteriormost seta thin and long, remaining slightly thicker and shorter than the posterior seta in male. Male terminalia as in Fig. 7A–F View FIGURE 7 ; basoventral lobe absent.

Distribution. South Korea (new record), Japan.

Floral information. Corydalis incisa (Thunb.) Pers. (Papaveraceae) ; Ligustrum japonicum Thunb. (Oleaceae) ( Mitai & Tadauchi, 2007).

Hosts. Lasioglossum allodalum Ember & Sakagami ( Maeta et al. 1996).

Specimen examined. [NAAS] 3f#, 2m # South Korea, JJ, Tmp. Gwan Eum 17. iv. 1998, coll. Seunghwan Lee.

Remark. This species can be confused with Nomada flavoguttata ( Kirby, 1802) because of the small body size, but can be distinguished by having amber, leaf-like HTS in female. In N. aswensis male, HTS is evidently thinner and longer than N. flavoguttata male.
