Abstract: Sphecodopsis aculeata species group The group consists of the following two species: S. aculeata and S. chaotica sp. nov. Characteristics of this group are the following: head covered with short, white or yellowish-white hair (Figs 11C, 13C, 15C); mesoscutum covered with short, white or yellowish-white hair (Figs 11D, 13D, 15D); female S6 bifid posteriorly, shape as shown in Figs 12C and 16C; male gonostylus not inclined inward and slightly tapered, penis valves broader, about as long as gonostylus (Fig. 14C). This group includes the type species of the subgenus Sphecodopsis (Pseudopasites) Bischoff, 1923 (= S. pygmaeus, syn of S. aculeata), that Michener (2007) treated as a synonym of Sphecodopsis.
