First, I should add that I have the specimen. If you have a closer look at the first picture (GYH0420) of this wasp you will see that the lamella at the edge of T 2 (and also of T 3 and T4) is transparent. This is dark in E. papillarius. What you can't ...
First, I should add that I have the specimen. If you have a closer look at the first picture (GYH0420) of this wasp you will see that the lamella at the edge of T 2 (and also of T 3 and T4) is transparent. This is dark in E. papillarius. What you can't clearly see is that before the lamella T 2 is unambiguously upturned. The combination of these (along with other features not necessarily visible in the pictures) is characteristic to E. mediterraneus, at least in Hungary. So I am quite confident that it is Eumenes mediterraneus, which, by the way, is the most frequent sp. arround Szeged in autumn.

It is not E. mediterraneus. Probably it is E. papillarius.
