Austrosphecodes inornatus (Schrottky, 1902)

Fig. 10B

Sphecodes inornatus Schrottky, 1902: 351 .

Diagnosis

Both sexes of Austrosphecoes inornatus can be distinguished by the combination of T1 punctate (but not strongly impressed as in A. lucifer sp. nov. and A. krampus sp. nov.) and the mesoscutum disc punctate to densely punctate, with interspaces less than a puncture diameter and surface mostly dull. Males have submarginal rows of setae on S4 and S5, but these are short and not curved as in the similar A. orcus sp. nov. The species was redescribed and illustrated by Gonçalves (2017).
