Resumo

The type specimens of Sesia sirphiformis Lucas, 1849 from Lac Tonga in Algeria and Di pso­ sphecia megillaeformis v. tunetana Le Cerf, 1920 syn. n. from the vicinity of Tunis were examined and found to be conspecific. Bembecia sirphiformis belongs to the B. ichneumoniformis (Denis & Schiffermuller, 1775) species group and is currently known only from northern Africa. Records from Sicily, Sardinia, Corsica, southern Italy, and Morocco (as B. tunetana) are here considered doubtful and may belong to other species. B. astragali (Joannis, 1909) stat. rev., which was described from northern Spain and southern France and was previously considered conspecific with B. sirphiformis, actually appears not to be so closely related to B. sirphiformis and seems to belong to the B. megillaeformis (Hubner, 1813) species group. B. igueri Bettag & Blasius, 1998 syn. n. from Morocco is now considered to be a synonym of B. astragali. Zusammenfassung. Die Typusexemplare von Sesia sirphiformis Lucas, 1849 vom Lac Tonga in Algerien und Dipsosphecia megillaeformis v. tunetana Le Cerf, 1920 syn. n. aus der Umgebung von Tunis wurden untersucht und ihre Artgleichheit festgestellt. Bembecia sirphiformis ist eine Art der B. ichneumoni­ formis (Denis & Schiffermuller, 1775) Artengruppe und bisher nur von Nordafrika bekannt. Meldungen von Sizilien, Sardinien, Korsika, Suditalien und Marokko (als B. tunetana) sind zweifelhaft und wahrscheinlich anderen Arten zuzuordnen. Die bisher als konspezifisch mit B. sirphiformis angesehene, aus Nordspanien und Sudfrankreich beschriebene B. astragali (Joannis, 1909) stat. rev. ist nicht unmittelbar verwandt, sondern gehort der B. megillaeformis (Hubner, 1813) Artengruppe an. Synonym zu B. astragali ist B. igueri Bettag & Blasius, 1998 syn. n. von Marokko.
