| Summary: | Three species of mud dauber wasps (Hymenoptera: Sphecidae), Sceliphron destillatorium (Illiger, 1807), S. curvatum (F. Smith, 1870), and S. deforme (F. Smith, 1856), are reported from the Republic of Belarus. The latter species is recorded in the Republic of Belarus for the first time. Southeastern Belarus appears to be the western border of the range of S. deforme. A key to Sceliphron Klug, 1801 species of the Belarusian fauna is given. Details of the structure and diagnostic features of images are described and illustrated. The characteristics of the location of nests are considered. Brief information about their current distribution, as well as features of biology and ecology are provided. The appearance in the Belarusian fauna of S. deforme and possible ways of its penetration are discussed. New data on distribution of S. destillatorium and S. curvatum are given |
