Spider Hunting Wasp Sp?

Potter Spider Wasp (Auplopus carbonarius ?)

On reflection if you look at the wing venation visible on this specimen.

Stephen Falk comments that the closed cells of the
forewing extend much further towards the wing tip
in the case of Auplopus carbonarius



In this case the closed cells are much further away from the wing tip.

Thus

an

Anoplius Sp

There are three all black British Anoplopius pompilid (Spider hunters) Sp

Anoplopus nigerrimus, Anoplius caviventris & Anoplopius concinnus

Anoplius niggerimus is one of the commonest pompilids

In this case the third sub marginal cell is petiolated ie. it joins one edge of the second submarginal cell
to create a more triangular cell rather than join the marginal cell vein

This is diagnostic for male & female

Common Black Spider Wasp (Anoplius nigerrimus)

Confirmed

And the wing pattern seems to fit.

Still open?
