Entomognathus fortuitus

Entomognathus fortuitus (KOHL, 1915) – new record for Morocco (figs 5-6, 21) Crabro fortuitus KOHL, 1915: 314, ♀. Holotype: ♀, Spain: no specific locality (NHMW) M a t e r i a l e x a m i n e d: ♀ 19.3.1997 Ht. Atlas, 10 km SE Ait Ourir 31.55N 7.60W (leg. S. Blank, coll CSE). R e m a r k Entomognathus fortuitus was previously only know from Spain and Portugal. The present record is the first in Morocco and Africa (fig. 21). The species can be identified with BITSCH et al. (2020). It is unique amoung western Palaeartcic species by the lack of the epicnemial carina (fig. 6). Mesopleuron is basally therefore rounded, and also mate, compared to the shiny mesopleuron in remaining species.
