The nest was located in the vertical wall of a crack in sandy-loam soil, in a flat spot with halophytic vegetation. The nest entrance was situated at a depth of about 1 cm from the soil surface and was a simple round opening, without an entrance turret. The nest tunnel was about 3 cm long and inclined downwards at about 45°. During the sealing of the cells and the whole nest, the female left the soil crack only to collect liquid for softening the soil; it obtained the liquid from succulent leaves of a plant of the genus <i>Suaeda</i> Forssk. ex J.F. Gmel. (Chenopodiaceae). The completed and sealed nest contained three brood cells, arranged in a row and sealed with soil partitions, and an empty vestibule sealed with a thicker final plug. The egg was attached with a thread to the lateral wall of the cell at its distal end. The female wasp hunted larvae of a single casebearer moth species of the genus <i>Aporiptura</i> Falkovitsh, 1972 (Coleophoridae), feeding on another species of <i>Suaeda</i>; 10–18 such larvae were stored in each brood cell. Adult wasps fed on nectar on the flowers of <i>Limonium otolepis</i> (Schrenk) Kuntze (Plumbaginaceae), <i>Tamarix ramosissima</i> Ledeb. (Tamaricaceae), and <i>Lepidium obtusum</i> Basiner (Brassicaceae). The biology of <i>B. zhelochovtzevi</i> is discussed and compared with that of <i>B. magnificus</i> (Morawitz, 1867) and members of other ground-nesting genera of Eumeninae.</p>","PeriodicalId":11729,"journal":{"name":"Entomological Review","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140575533","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
