Bembecinus tridens

Bembecinus tridens (FABRICIUS,1781) Larra tridens FABRICIUS, 1781: WALKER 1871a: 25 (Tadjoura). Larra tridens WALKER (!): INNES BEY 1911: 112 (Tadjoura, cat. Lord Collection). D i s t r i b u t i o n: Tadjoura. Bembecinus tridens is widely distributed in the Palaearctic region, but is not recorded from Egypt and the Arabian peninsula. The record from Djibouti, which is not mentioned in HANDLIRSCH (1892: 34), DE DALLA TORRE (1897: 532) and BOHART & MENKE (1976: 532), is probably a misidentification and should be checked.Published as part of Madl, Michael, 2018, A preliminary catalogue of the Hymenoptera (Insecta) of the Republic of Djibouti, pp. 907-967 in Linzer biologische Beiträge 50 (2) on page 939, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.377645
