0:0:0.0 --> 0:0:3.500
Maffei, Clare J
OK UM next week.

0:0:5.460 --> 0:0:9.670
Maffei, Clare J
Or, Umm. Ohh. In two weeks, actually on the 18th.

0:0:10.60 --> 0:0:17.0
Maffei, Clare J
Umm, we should have Oscar, can you? Maybe Oscar's last name. I don't have it saved right here.

0:0:18.810 --> 0:0:19.340
Droege, Sam
Umm.

0:0:20.90 --> 0:0:20.560
Droege, Sam
I.

0:0:21.990 --> 0:0:25.40
Droege, Sam
I wanna say it begins with M, but I've I've forgotten myself.

0:0:24.190 --> 0:0:28.480
Maffei, Clare J
I thought so too. OK, well, our our friend Doctor.

0:0:26.970 --> 0:0:28.680
Droege, Sam
Maybe Munez, yeah.

0:0:29.740 --> 0:0:36.990
Maffei, Clare J
Oscar maybe Munet, that sounds right. UM, we'll be joining us for another bumblebees moment.

0:0:38.70 --> 0:0:42.880
Maffei, Clare J
Working on like South and Central. I mean like SW and Central America.

0:0:43.670 --> 0:0:50.740
Maffei, Clare J
UM, right, right. Yeah. So with with that aside, let's start. Celia access.

0:0:52.680 --> 0:1:12.410
Droege, Sam
Right. Thank you, Claire. So I'm going to flip right to the screen and we'll deal with females first. I doubt we're gonna get through. Almost certainly won't get through them today. It's a nice group. In some ways, there's tricky pairs, but it's a.

0:1:13.730 --> 0:1:14.900
Droege, Sam
Rich in.

0:1:16.170 --> 0:1:20.420
Droege, Sam
Uh. Characters and they're they're often dramatic and big, so we'll start with.

0:1:21.410 --> 0:1:31.900
Droege, Sam
Some of the common groups and some of the easy to separate out groups because they have a very distinctive character. Mike doesn't have a guide, so we'll use the.

0:1:32.980 --> 0:1:37.370
Droege, Sam
Discover life guides and I will go to the.

0:1:38.230 --> 0:1:41.380
Droege, Sam
Start. I've been playing around with it here.

0:1:42.540 --> 0:2:3.940
Droege, Sam
So we're back into the Discovery Life Guide just to briefly go over the main characters that are used for separating things out shape of S6. So we're gonna look at these a lot, but they have quite a dramatic set of differences in the shape of Essex. So you're gonna be turning the specimen over to look at that. It often looks out below.

0:2:5.380 --> 0:2:19.900
Droege, Sam
T6, but mostly it'll be an upside down thing depending sometimes you can see it very quickly. There are some nice characters in a couple of species, basically germana and also.

0:2:21.280 --> 0:2:26.350
Droege, Sam
Delafose have a very distinct that germana being that one.

0:2:27.570 --> 0:2:35.290
Droege, Sam
Characters and there's a couple of southern ones with ridges down the middle. There in the skew tellum.

0:2:36.40 --> 0:2:43.220
Droege, Sam
Uh, shaping you can note the big actually here that we'll see. That's part of the characteristics of the species group.

0:2:44.230 --> 0:2:54.300
Droege, Sam
The men, anonym. This is useful, not something that we see in any of the other species groups, but the face of the meta notum and the.

0:2:56.700 --> 0:3:7.170
Droege, Sam
And the podium are more or less vertical and there are oppressed hairs hang on one second. Hey guys, you can tone down just little bit. OK. Thanks.

0:3:7.850 --> 0:3:8.250
Droege, Sam
Umm.

0:3:9.40 --> 0:3:27.350
Droege, Sam
Have oppressed hairs on them and the pattern of those pressed hairs are often distinctive. Leg color can be useful. The problem is, there's a fair amount of variation, but at the extremes either all black or all red, it's useful when it's partially red, partially black. Sometimes it can be used as a secondary.

0:3:27.810 --> 0:3:58.980
Droege, Sam
Ohm characteristic and we will start with I think say I so mandible type and pattern of hair can be useful, but I find that people and myself don't use this very often, so we'll probably not emphasize that. Let's start with say I because it's the most common species and it has very distinctive. This central notch here which I have lined up this, this pattern, there's a lot of hair here, but you can almost always see that pattern.

0:3:59.390 --> 0:4:29.370
Droege, Sam
Below the hair. Almost everything else. I believe all the else are either flat across on the rim or are slightly convex. There's a a species that's very rare called Banksy that has an upturned rim. Here we'll see. That's in the guide, but I don't have any specimens. I've never seen one come across the lab, so we'll go and jump to the computer and we'll use AI to see a whole series of other.

0:4:29.500 --> 0:5:0.990
Droege, Sam
Characters that are often used in celiac axis, including some ones that were not on that first screen there. So let's jump here. So here's the face and we've got some reflective glare off of. I'll show a couple other specimens to see this better off of the white hairs that cover the clipeus, but almost always you can see the outline when the the hair's not when the hairs are not picking up the light so much, you can see.

0:5:1.110 --> 0:5:31.690
Droege, Sam
This undulated shape, this central emerging nation, or indentation or concave area, and the center. And that's the only species that has that. So it's a giveaway right away, just noting several other characteristics on the specimen though that are you gonna be useful throughout? First of all, I think all the celiac axis have and I will change this a little bit, have very noticeable hair along but short along the eyeball.

0:5:32.70 --> 0:5:44.350
Droege, Sam
So there are so many other characters you don't really need this, but it's of note, it is one of the few groups other than honey bees that have that other species may have scattered hairs, but nothing to this extent.

0:5:45.900 --> 0:5:53.370
Droege, Sam
They're use usefulness is unknown, but possibly having to do with guidance in terms of.

0:5:54.530 --> 0:5:56.360
Droege, Sam
The wind direction.

0:5:57.270 --> 0:5:58.530
Droege, Sam
OK so.

0:5:59.460 --> 0:6:9.560
Droege, Sam
We didn't see this in the first part of the guide, but there's a set of characters for these groups. I'm gonna switch specimens now.

0:6:10.430 --> 0:6:34.90
Droege, Sam
I will though do a quick note here about variation in color. So take a look at the leg color here of this Sai, which we're very confident is AI in this particular case. There's no ambiguity there of that rim and you can see it's quite extensively dark with sections of red. And then I'm going to flip to this other specimen here.

0:6:34.980 --> 0:6:36.710
Droege, Sam
And you'll see that.

0:6:37.820 --> 0:6:40.860
Droege, Sam
It has a much greater.

0:6:41.720 --> 0:6:43.520
Droege, Sam
Extent of.

0:6:44.240 --> 0:6:47.210
Droege, Sam
Uh red throughout the legs.

0:6:48.510 --> 0:6:49.240
Droege, Sam
And.

0:6:50.540 --> 0:6:51.230
Droege, Sam
So.

0:6:52.380 --> 0:7:23.950
Droege, Sam
Making it difficult to come to a judgment of whether it's dark or light, or what the pattern exactly is. Other species will be entirely read. Other species will be entirely dark, and a few others have distinctive patterns, often being that the basal tarsal tarsal and the tarsal segments are red and a a limited amount of red on the legs. Everything else being dark, I know what to focus in on is this patch here, which is a again unique to celiac axis in terms of an identification.

0:7:24.50 --> 0:7:24.660
Droege, Sam
Area.

0:7:26.240 --> 0:7:36.600
Droege, Sam
I don't know this is I guess could be called a corbicula of a little bit of a wing issue. Here. We'll look at this in several others too.

0:7:37.740 --> 0:7:43.130
Droege, Sam
So I might you know what I'm gonna flip to the other side just to see if.

0:7:43.850 --> 0:7:45.300
Droege, Sam
Yeah, the wings not in.

0:7:46.980 --> 0:7:51.810
Droege, Sam
In view over there, so we should be able to see the area up now. The legs in the way.

0:7:52.680 --> 0:8:0.980
Droege, Sam
And to generally the problem, I'm gonna go back to that other view and maybe cook it a little bit to see better. There is a area.

0:8:2.20 --> 0:8:6.130
Droege, Sam
Hollowed out corbicula late, I guess would be a term to use.

0:8:7.490 --> 0:8:9.280
Droege, Sam
Now we have too much of a.

0:8:10.400 --> 0:8:11.720
Droege, Sam
View from on top.

0:8:14.630 --> 0:8:18.490
Droege, Sam
That is between the mandible and the eye.

0:8:19.660 --> 0:8:29.550
Droege, Sam
Primarily, and depending on how wide the cheek is here all the way to the bottom of the cheek or the Gina.

0:8:31.670 --> 0:8:36.430
Droege, Sam
In this one, it's not particularly dramatic. What you'll see is.

0:8:37.400 --> 0:9:1.730
Droege, Sam
Umm, if we had a better, more 3 dimensional view, you'd see that this is hollow, hollowed out, slightly shallow concave area, and that there are white hairs lining the top and then some white hairs to the interior. Other species have quite different ones, and this is not particularly notable, but some of the other species have very distinct.

0:9:2.850 --> 0:9:3.480
Droege, Sam
UM.

0:9:5.410 --> 0:9:12.70
Droege, Sam
Whatever orbicular, Gina, things we have a name on it there. I can't regret all what it's called.

0:9:12.990 --> 0:9:17.80
Droege, Sam
And so now we'll flip to.

0:9:17.740 --> 0:9:18.470
Droege, Sam
The.

0:9:20.250 --> 0:9:24.520
Droege, Sam
Rear end. We'll take a look at T6.

0:9:26.120 --> 0:9:41.420
Droege, Sam
The very end. So one of the unique characters were the reason that you largely never need to look this group up in terms of what's the genus is. It had very pointy in which is involved in inserting eggs into the nests of.

0:9:42.270 --> 0:9:50.260
Droege, Sam
Be species, usually they're mega Kylie and usually they would be nesting in the ground somewhere.

0:9:52.170 --> 0:9:56.720
Droege, Sam
OK, So what are we looking at? Let's zoom in even further.

0:9:59.280 --> 0:10:11.800
Droege, Sam
So we're going to flip this over, but what you're looking at is both T6 and S6SOS6, I think inevitably juts out further.

0:10:13.340 --> 0:10:32.130
Droege, Sam
Then T6 underneath the the. If you're looking at it from the dorsal aspect. So I believe that the this reason that this is projecting so much further and normally it would be hidden by T6 is probably it's involved with inserting the eggs or something like that.

0:10:33.300 --> 0:10:37.30
Droege, Sam
In looking at T6 first note.

0:10:37.670 --> 0:10:41.690
Droege, Sam
That if we can jump up a little bit and I'm gonna pump up the.

0:10:42.380 --> 0:10:44.320
Droege, Sam
Be well, that's pretty good, I think.

0:10:45.490 --> 0:10:45.910
Droege, Sam
Umm.

0:10:47.210 --> 0:11:2.630
Droege, Sam
Pump up the uh magnification so we have a central Ridge running down here. So in some species it stops and other people's species. It's completely gone. So that's a useful character. This is not the best.

0:11:3.840 --> 0:11:33.430
Droege, Sam
View because the the UM you can't see the shadows well enough, but often there's species specific patterns to this whole lower region and addition to the presence of the central spine, there's a a hollowed out area which is difficult to see here and you can see that this is angled back over. You can see the same thing. So I'm following the edge of the hollow and I'm going to a angle.

0:11:34.10 --> 0:11:35.50
Droege, Sam
Where it joins.

0:11:35.740 --> 0:11:39.590
Droege, Sam
Right here, that's pretty sharply defined.

0:11:42.760 --> 0:11:46.470
Droege, Sam
So if we back back down and illustrations, you'll see.

0:11:47.220 --> 0:11:49.650
Droege, Sam
That this area here is often.

0:11:50.790 --> 0:12:16.400
Droege, Sam
Shown as distinct, but this whole area right through here is depressed from the upper surface here, which then drops off. So this shape can be distinctive. Sometimes it's very difficult to really describe it, but keep that in mind when you're doing comparative work. OK, so now we're gonna get to gonna turn this over. I'll look at.

0:12:17.560 --> 0:12:18.430
Droege, Sam
As six.

0:12:19.380 --> 0:12:20.90
Droege, Sam
Which has.

0:12:21.720 --> 0:12:27.310
Droege, Sam
Steps of distinctive patterns are probably associated with declared subgenera.

0:12:29.530 --> 0:12:31.880
Droege, Sam
You don't really talk about here.

0:12:33.10 --> 0:12:35.480
Droege, Sam
Umm, but this pattern.

0:12:36.470 --> 0:12:51.560
Droege, Sam
Is, so we're now looking underneath the specimen and what you see is a basically a a triangle triangular shape. To this it's the outside edges are slightly.

0:12:51.720 --> 0:13:21.900
Droege, Sam
Umm, a convex but not greatly so. And importantly, but often difficult to see and often overlooked because you're looking often for something bigger are two small teeth or notched out areas right before you get to this tip, try and get that a little bit better in focus. So see those two? So that's that drops you into a distinct group of specimens, the ones that come to mind.

0:13:21.970 --> 0:13:46.510
Droege, Sam
Right now would be say I octo dentata and or is it octene dentatus now accidental I think and Rufus Tarsis or is it roof Itarsi? I always get these things. I think it's roof, Tarsus going to my little box here so that puts it into that group almost immediately. I think Texana is a a fourth one.

0:13:47.690 --> 0:13:48.860
Droege, Sam
Still.

0:13:49.810 --> 0:13:50.920
Droege, Sam
I think we will.

0:13:51.790 --> 0:13:52.480
Droege, Sam
Shift.

0:13:53.220 --> 0:14:2.650
Droege, Sam
Now to the pair Octagon. So this is the most common species. It's pretty clearly associated with this. Dropped the.

0:14:4.0 --> 0:14:4.770
Droege, Sam
Indica.

0:14:6.570 --> 0:14:12.760
Droege, Sam
And probably also is involved with parasitizing. Several of the other similar.

0:14:13.460 --> 0:14:20.720
Droege, Sam
In common magic, Kylie, maybe brevis and so forth. So we're putting seoi away for now, and I'm gonna pull out.

0:14:21.420 --> 0:14:25.780
Droege, Sam
Umm. Octet and Tada so often and Tata is very similar.

0:14:27.120 --> 0:14:33.10
Droege, Sam
In all, in all of its aspects, except that it does not have that clipeus. So let's take a look.

0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:48.990
Droege, Sam
1st at the Clypeal rim, this is what almost all the species have is a rim something like that either straight across or slightly. But you know what? I'm going to go right back to say I here very quickly.

0:14:49.670 --> 0:14:51.500
Droege, Sam
And show you a specimen.

0:14:53.70 --> 0:14:56.0
Droege, Sam
Where the Clipeus is a little bit better defined.

0:14:58.120 --> 0:14:59.780
Droege, Sam
So you can see that.

0:15:1.630 --> 0:15:2.930
Droege, Sam
More clearly.

0:15:4.900 --> 0:15:6.60
Droege, Sam
So here.

0:15:10.450 --> 0:15:11.360
Droege, Sam
We're looking.

0:15:12.360 --> 0:15:16.330
Droege, Sam
Down on the clipeus and this is a specimen. Who?

0:15:17.180 --> 0:15:31.550
Droege, Sam
Whose hair was a little bit matted here, but it now you can see the outline of the integument. And this concave area. You can still see long white hairs at go out over that area, but again, almost always you can detect.

0:15:32.480 --> 0:15:33.30
Droege, Sam
That.

0:15:34.370 --> 0:15:36.670
Droege, Sam
Pattern every once in a while.

0:15:37.310 --> 0:15:39.190
Droege, Sam
If you have goopy specimens.

0:15:40.440 --> 0:15:48.230
Droege, Sam
Which happens, you might miss that character, but usually you'll realize at some point that.

0:15:49.390 --> 0:15:53.340
Droege, Sam
You are going to get my light fixed here.

0:15:55.700 --> 0:16:0.70
Droege, Sam
Probably looking at say I rather than the other two. OK, so.

0:16:1.930 --> 0:16:4.830
Droege, Sam
Now if we go back here and we look.

0:16:5.510 --> 0:16:7.740
Droege, Sam
Now at Octagon, Tara.

0:16:8.600 --> 0:16:9.120
Droege, Sam
And we.

0:16:9.760 --> 0:16:10.20
Droege, Sam
Yeah.

0:16:8.280 --> 0:16:13.50
Maffei, Clare J
Tim, can you repeat what the other two that you're referring to are accident, Tata and?

0:16:13.820 --> 0:16:14.760
Droege, Sam
Rufus tarsus.

0:16:15.90 --> 0:16:15.940
Maffei, Clare J
Got it. Thank you.

0:16:17.0 --> 0:16:18.490
Droege, Sam
OK so.

0:16:19.580 --> 0:16:51.170
Droege, Sam
Going to turn this a little bit better. So this is an example of what most of the celiac axis Clipsal rims look like, which is something that is more or less often there's hair is disguising the exact nature of it but it's slightly concave. Every once in a while it's something that looks pretty straight across, but there's better characters to use and separating them out so we rarely use this. Note how red these legs are. Octave Entada tends to be red or.

0:16:51.570 --> 0:16:58.10
Droege, Sam
Then say I and roof tarsus the ones that we're going to talk about in a second, which is easy enough to confuse with.

0:16:58.940 --> 0:17:1.220
Droege, Sam
It's almost always a lot.

0:17:1.970 --> 0:17:4.440
Droege, Sam
Blacker in the femur and tibia.

0:17:5.120 --> 0:17:8.530
Droege, Sam
Area, but would still have and we'll see this have.

0:17:10.160 --> 0:17:26.230
Droege, Sam
Uh red in the basitar sis tarsal segments areas. So anyway oxide Antara. Note that so that separates it from say I the hind end is very much the same as.

0:17:27.740 --> 0:17:28.730
Droege, Sam
Say aye.

0:17:29.850 --> 0:17:35.80
Droege, Sam
And we've Itarsi and a couple of the others, which is to say we're looking on.

0:17:36.300 --> 0:17:38.770
Droege, Sam
Tea from above.

0:17:39.520 --> 0:17:43.50
Droege, Sam
And will be able to see the notched.

0:17:43.960 --> 0:17:45.490
Droege, Sam
Little teeth there.

0:17:46.730 --> 0:17:47.340
Droege, Sam
2.

0:17:49.590 --> 0:17:51.220
Droege, Sam
They go a little bit higher.

0:17:52.700 --> 0:18:7.80
Droege, Sam
And you can see, I think through the hairs along the rims of S6, there's a tooth and there's the tooth. So again, that's the kind of thing to keep in mind. And then this the very triangular shape. But, you know, basically a slightly con.

0:18:7.480 --> 0:18:12.840
Droege, Sam
Checks shape to it. Now if we move to T.

0:18:14.410 --> 0:18:34.470
Droege, Sam
Six, we see the central Ridge again. But if you look over here, this is sort of this area that was rather sharply defined and say I and will be also very sharply defined a roof of tarsus and that's the one of the separation keys, really. You'll see that this is largely sort of smoothed out.

0:18:35.650 --> 0:18:46.100
Droege, Sam
All the topography is evened out. You don't see a sharp rim, sharp definitions to that corner, and you don't even really see much of a hollow there.

0:18:47.270 --> 0:18:52.890
Droege, Sam
It is. It is depressed compared to the remainder of the segment, but it's not.

0:18:54.370 --> 0:19:12.610
Droege, Sam
It's not very distinctly defined. It's as if it were blurred, and that's gonna be key because there's not a lot else to go on and separating it from roof Itarsi the general pattern here would be flipping the sides over.

0:19:13.940 --> 0:19:15.820
Droege, Sam
Would be redder.

0:19:16.790 --> 0:19:17.860
Droege, Sam
Read her legs.

0:19:21.300 --> 0:19:23.510
Droege, Sam
Yeah, we'll take a look here from the side.

0:19:25.650 --> 0:19:26.750
Droege, Sam
And in this case.

0:19:27.720 --> 0:19:28.710
Droege, Sam
The red.

0:19:30.670 --> 0:19:31.810
Droege, Sam
Is pretty much complete.

0:19:32.600 --> 0:19:39.530
Droege, Sam
But always in coloration kinds of things. One must always be suspicious of variation on these themes.

0:19:40.260 --> 0:19:51.250
Droege, Sam
And the fact that that seems to be one of the types of characters that can vary in, so you may run into specimens that don't have quite all red in those areas.

0:19:52.320 --> 0:20:1.600
Droege, Sam
So now let's see. We're looking at the side here. Let's see if we can get a view here of T6 from this angle.

0:20:4.10 --> 0:20:4.370
Droege, Sam
Oops.

0:20:6.610 --> 0:20:8.880
Droege, Sam
Knowing that got it on the ground.

0:20:9.780 --> 0:20:11.130
Droege, Sam
OK, be careful.

0:20:15.780 --> 0:20:30.50
Droege, Sam
I'm just showing you another view of what we saw from on top and you're just seeing a what you're seeing is a general lack of features in this area, so there's no sharply divined angles or anything like, it's just a big.

0:20:30.950 --> 0:20:32.60
Droege, Sam
Big old blur.

0:20:33.130 --> 0:20:34.870
Droege, Sam
All right, now we're going to flip.

0:20:36.380 --> 0:20:45.520
Droege, Sam
So I should say terms of habitat and patterns oxide and Tata is common. I'd have to look at the maps to see if it's everywhere.

0:20:46.220 --> 0:20:52.860
Droege, Sam
But it tends to be in sandy dryer habitats than the other two species. We were just looking at.

0:20:54.820 --> 0:20:57.310
Droege, Sam
So now we're going to go and take a look at.

0:20:58.130 --> 0:21:8.870
Droege, Sam
Proof Itarsi and we'll start with the legs. So roofer Tarsis rather not tarsi orsis, so rufa tarsus is a northern species.

0:21:12.170 --> 0:21:14.760
Droege, Sam
Let's more so than.

0:21:17.50 --> 0:21:18.20
Droege, Sam
The other two.

0:21:19.140 --> 0:21:30.90
Droege, Sam
And it seems to be, at least it's keyed in on being a a parasitoid of michelada mantis, which is of large megachile.

0:21:31.40 --> 0:21:56.310
Droege, Sam
And we'll zoom in here. Well, this is a good leg shot is a large Mexicali and a northern one. So in Maryland, for example, both these species really only occur in Western Maryland in the mountains. Now, if we look again here all over the eyeball, very characteristic. If we're looking at the things that separate it from up to the entada was see that the.

0:21:57.470 --> 0:22:14.300
Droege, Sam
Femur and the femur and the tarsus are almost entirely black femur. All is all black and then the basic tarsus and the tip of the tibia are red. So that's a strong indicator.

0:22:15.470 --> 0:22:24.880
Droege, Sam
Of roofer tarsis. Additionally, it does not have the rim that say I has and then when we look at the.

0:22:26.780 --> 0:22:32.910
Droege, Sam
Back end S6 is the same little tiny teeth sticking out there.

0:22:33.690 --> 0:22:34.280
Droege, Sam
But.

0:22:35.740 --> 0:22:37.490
Droege, Sam
Tea 6.

0:22:40.440 --> 0:22:41.320
Droege, Sam
Is.

0:22:43.590 --> 0:22:49.600
Droege, Sam
Much more sharply defined, there's ridges and other things much more like, say I when up the.

0:22:50.710 --> 0:22:54.640
Droege, Sam
Light a little bit on this, but let's take a look at it like right now.

0:22:57.630 --> 0:23:16.810
Droege, Sam
So even from this air this angle you can see there's a lot more going on. Here's these hollowed out areas that are deeper than the rest of the depressed area. And this area right here is very much more sharply defined. It's not all this area is not all smoothed out like in Octave and Tada.

0:23:17.670 --> 0:23:19.460
Droege, Sam
So the combination of those two.

0:23:19.860 --> 0:23:28.480
Droege, Sam
Umm characters should give you roof Itarsi you can see the tiny teeth there too. I'm going to jump to a higher.

0:23:29.490 --> 0:23:31.440
Droege, Sam
Magnification, not magnification.

0:23:34.330 --> 0:23:39.450
Droege, Sam
Uh light level here just to help out a little bit.

0:23:42.950 --> 0:24:2.910
Droege, Sam
So tooth and tooth, same shape on their central Ridge all the same. But this area and it's not, you know, we're not talking about the greatest characters because it's still subtle unless you have comparative material or you're looking at Occidental, which just does not have this kind of.

0:24:4.30 --> 0:24:11.190
Droege, Sam
Sharp edges to the the sides, but you have the usually very well defined.

0:24:13.390 --> 0:24:30.380
Droege, Sam
Leg color situation and then you have the northern distribution too. So if you're seeing this on the coastal plain and the South then and you think it's roof Ataris is probably not OK. So that's one particular group. I don't think I have any females of texanus.

0:24:31.280 --> 0:24:32.400
Droege, Sam
Or tixan uh.

0:24:33.560 --> 0:24:50.10
Droege, Sam
But let's go to we'll jump to a tiny tiniest of celiac axis that we have. It's an introduced species. Interestingly, it might be the. Is it the only introduced? I think it is the only introduced.

0:24:51.590 --> 0:24:52.470
Droege, Sam
Non-native.

0:24:53.480 --> 0:24:55.370
Droege, Sam
P But that's a parasite.

0:24:57.200 --> 0:25:5.30
Droege, Sam
OK, so when you zoom in here, now this is a mail for whatever reason I don't have the any females right now.

0:25:5.670 --> 0:25:6.900
Maffei, Clare J
What is the species?

0:25:5.920 --> 0:25:10.790
Droege, Sam
But the pattern and this is ohh sorry celiacs coturnix.

0:25:14.400 --> 0:25:14.890
Maffei, Clare J
Thank you.

0:25:12.880 --> 0:25:16.360
Droege, Sam
And it's a desperate site, yeah.

0:25:20.420 --> 0:25:24.370
Droege, Sam
It's a nest parasite of at least magically rotund data.

0:25:27.30 --> 0:25:44.540
Droege, Sam
And it in addition to so you can see all the spikes on the back end here. That's a what all the males have. But again don't have the females, but what you'll see are these big, blocky oppressed or prone white hairs throughout the area.

0:25:45.360 --> 0:25:53.610
Droege, Sam
And hey guys, I'm. I'm online, so Francis for you guys wanna talk more quietly over that search and that will be good. OK.

0:25:55.170 --> 0:26:12.780
Droege, Sam
Is these big, blocky hairs and the it's just super small, so this pattern and it's quite extensive of the white hairs should really jump out. It's just so different from any of the other celiacs that we have.

0:26:14.440 --> 0:26:15.960
Droege, Sam
OK, so I'm going to.

0:26:17.140 --> 0:26:18.850
Droege, Sam
Jump out of that one.

0:26:22.200 --> 0:26:50.80
Droege, Sam
And make Akali rotten data and it's other species consent A and or pusilla if you will and applicata are also the ball introduced all super small compared to the other mega Kylie and the region. Alright, so another species of Celia Oxis that has a very distinct.

0:26:51.50 --> 0:26:51.780
Droege, Sam
Unique.

0:26:52.760 --> 0:26:59.200
Droege, Sam
Pattern is celiac's germana which is a nest parasite of at least.

0:27:1.380 --> 0:27:3.150
Droege, Sam
Pitch magically petulance.

0:27:2.120 --> 0:27:3.210
Aliza Fassler
Make it fairly petulant.

0:27:5.930 --> 0:27:6.820
Droege, Sam
So.

0:27:8.710 --> 0:27:11.780
Droege, Sam
But see, OK, good. Just looking at the time.

0:27:13.550 --> 0:27:15.520
Droege, Sam
It would move here.

0:27:17.790 --> 0:27:19.280
Maffei, Clare J
You said Germanus, right?

0:27:21.110 --> 0:27:23.640
Droege, Sam
Yeah. So maybe how I petulance is the.

0:27:24.650 --> 0:27:25.250
Droege, Sam
Umm.

0:27:26.910 --> 0:27:28.60
Droege, Sam
Is the host.

0:27:29.80 --> 0:27:36.0
Droege, Sam
BI don't know what what I'm looking at the rear end right now. We'll go to this distinct feature I just out of curiosity to see.

0:27:37.320 --> 0:27:38.610
Droege, Sam
Whether it's.

0:27:40.190 --> 0:27:41.820
Droege, Sam
What it has in terms of?

0:27:42.650 --> 0:27:46.340
Droege, Sam
Patterns there just to give some examples of.

0:27:47.510 --> 0:27:49.260
Droege, Sam
Things in different from say aye.

0:27:51.0 --> 0:27:51.880
Droege, Sam
Umm.

0:27:54.340 --> 0:27:56.490
Droege, Sam
Might have to lower the light again.

0:27:57.490 --> 0:27:57.800
Droege, Sam
Sure.

0:28:14.60 --> 0:28:21.840
Droege, Sam
Nope, this is another small toothed one. So same as the others, but it just has a very distinct.

0:28:23.890 --> 0:28:31.900
Droege, Sam
Cathern on the scutellum that will separate it out from all the other species. So quick check.

0:28:32.490 --> 0:28:35.250
Droege, Sam
For these big characters is useful.

0:28:37.220 --> 0:28:37.970
Droege, Sam
When?

0:28:39.260 --> 0:28:54.340
Droege, Sam
You have celiac. Celiac is under the scope. So what we're looking at is a central spine, so none of the other species, except maybe dolichos. But it's a different shape than this. Have this extra spine. So this one mirrors the.

0:28:56.580 --> 0:29:1.980
Droege, Sam
The spines on the axially that are here and here which all the.

0:29:3.560 --> 0:29:15.390
Droege, Sam
The Celiac's have, although you you know if they they vary in shape. These are relatively narrow compared to some, but the central spine is unique and it will tell you that you're looking at.

0:29:16.910 --> 0:29:17.520
Droege, Sam
Germanna.

0:29:20.670 --> 0:29:24.460
Droege, Sam
Petulance, its host in Germana, also.

0:29:25.130 --> 0:29:33.130
Droege, Sam
Are fairly southern species. We're at the northern edge of their range, are both the species I think we're not known from the state until we started.

0:29:34.410 --> 0:29:37.560
Droege, Sam
About 20 years ago, looking at the bees and the state.

0:29:39.620 --> 0:29:40.860
Droege, Sam
And.

0:29:42.80 --> 0:29:44.790
Droege, Sam
I'm going to drop the lighting back down.

0:29:47.360 --> 0:29:53.670
Droege, Sam
So again, if you're far north, you're not going to see this species. But if you're in the South, petulance, magically petulance and.

0:29:56.880 --> 0:29:57.780
Droege, Sam
This.

0:30:1.340 --> 0:30:2.730
Droege, Sam
Species are relatively common.

0:30:8.420 --> 0:30:9.100
Droege, Sam
Back up.

0:30:9.810 --> 0:30:18.560
Droege, Sam
Alright, I'm just taking a look here at the. Again, we have a a rough at the top in this space at the edge of the.

0:30:19.180 --> 0:30:19.750
Droege, Sam
Umm.

0:30:21.40 --> 0:30:23.770
Droege, Sam
Of the head without a whole lot going on.

0:30:25.420 --> 0:30:25.990
Droege, Sam
And.

0:30:26.810 --> 0:30:38.640
Droege, Sam
Uh, there's red on the on T1, there's red on throughout the legs, but it's the spine that gives you the answer to what the species is.

0:30:40.680 --> 0:30:48.700
Droege, Sam
Generate so that is germana. Very nice to have species. Whoops now.

0:30:50.500 --> 0:30:52.570
Droege, Sam
Let's go to modesta.

0:30:54.220 --> 0:30:57.630
Droege, Sam
So Modesta has a very different shape.

0:30:59.220 --> 0:31:0.510
Droege, Sam
Now I'm thinking that the.

0:31:1.350 --> 0:31:3.280
Droege, Sam
The cavity around the.

0:31:4.920 --> 0:31:11.90
Droege, Sam
On the cheek of these species is more pronounced in the males, so I mean, stop looking for that.

0:31:19.110 --> 0:31:26.860
Droege, Sam
So modesta is reasonably common and I'm not sure what it's hosts are supposed to be, if someone.

0:31:27.660 --> 0:31:29.310
Droege, Sam
Looked that up there would be interesting.

0:31:31.200 --> 0:31:41.200
Droege, Sam
But we have a fair number of records for the state of Maryland and I see it pretty regularly and people's specimens. So first of all, we can see by looking straight down.

0:31:42.340 --> 0:31:42.800
Droege, Sam
Where?

0:31:43.610 --> 0:31:48.580
Droege, Sam
Looking at the combination of T6 and S6 and.

0:31:49.650 --> 0:31:50.660
Droege, Sam
Yes.

0:31:51.430 --> 0:31:52.180
Droege, Sam
6.

0:31:53.160 --> 0:31:58.550
Droege, Sam
Is and I'm showing we'll flip this over to see this a little bit better. Oh, you know, I'm gonna take the.

0:31:59.480 --> 0:32:1.690
Droege, Sam
Eggs off because they're reflecting too much light.

0:32:4.500 --> 0:32:6.810
Droege, Sam
But look at the shape on this.

0:32:8.360 --> 0:32:11.870
Droege, Sam
On the S6 area, it's quite different from.

0:32:12.770 --> 0:32:13.830
Droege, Sam
What we saw?

0:32:17.480 --> 0:32:20.420
Droege, Sam
Find the other species. We were just looking at.

0:32:21.220 --> 0:32:23.150
Droege, Sam
And I've got to find it. There it is.

0:32:30.670 --> 0:33:0.530
Droege, Sam
OK, so one thing so you can see this kind of first of all, it's a dark Halo of dark hairs rather than light hairs. And you can see that you have a very uniformly and much more concave section without the teeth at the at the beginning. This thing right here is what we're gonna look at in terms of a unique feature from the side. It's a little knob that is projecting towards the camera at this point, but.

0:33:0.700 --> 0:33:3.70
Droege, Sam
I'm from the side. It's moving up.

0:33:4.850 --> 0:33:10.860
Droege, Sam
So I want to this is sometimes mistaked stake in for the very uncommon.

0:33:12.10 --> 0:33:19.590
Droege, Sam
Umm. I'm secure tennis, I think. Let's go here to.

0:33:20.820 --> 0:33:41.740
Droege, Sam
This so see this particular pattern here, but here it's this is this fan is completely made of hairs with a central spine. It looks similar because there's a fan of hairs on that one, but you're looking at this thing from the top rather than this thing. So but this is what is it octave?

0:33:43.40 --> 0:33:43.980
Droege, Sam
Dentata.

0:33:45.540 --> 0:34:7.430
Droege, Sam
Obtrusive interests? I've seen a couple there around, but that's a very cool specimen anyway, that's not what we're looking at. We're looking at modestus and now we'll. OK. So if we look, we can see that there's quite a bit of different things going on here on even at the.

0:34:9.480 --> 0:34:28.150
Droege, Sam
T6 level. So first of all, the central spine sort of Peters out in there and you can see long, spiky hairs, some dark going on in this place. So we have a couple things that we can view that are different. But now if we.

0:34:29.320 --> 0:34:32.370
Droege, Sam
Take this out and flip it over.

0:34:33.430 --> 0:34:36.180
Droege, Sam
From underneath, we'll get a better view of S6.

0:34:37.650 --> 0:34:39.500
Droege, Sam
And that shape pattern?

0:34:40.510 --> 0:34:42.110
Droege, Sam
That helps split out so many.

0:34:42.890 --> 0:34:44.240
Droege, Sam
Different specimens.

0:34:46.430 --> 0:34:47.720
Droege, Sam
I've seen announces.

0:34:49.120 --> 0:34:52.90
Droege, Sam
So this is almost always like the first thing you're gonna look at.

0:34:54.50 --> 0:35:8.480
Droege, Sam
Shopping. Go here now. He's have quite a different view. We see that mostly. We're talking integument rather than hairs. We still have quite a fan of hairs and you have what amounts to a relatively convex.

0:35:9.660 --> 0:35:14.880
Droege, Sam
Slightly triangular, but it's kind of difficult to describe what that is with a smaller.

0:35:15.950 --> 0:35:26.790
Droege, Sam
Triangular shape sitting on top of it. At least that's how we've described it. Perhaps a better way to describe it could be made.

0:35:27.630 --> 0:35:30.540
Droege, Sam
Uh, so that shapes distinctive no small teeth.

0:35:31.330 --> 0:35:31.820
Droege, Sam
Umm.

0:35:32.680 --> 0:35:34.810
Droege, Sam
And not of the other pattern types.

0:35:36.100 --> 0:35:41.50
Droege, Sam
You know, if we turn now, the distinctive part of this is shows up when we.

0:35:42.80 --> 0:35:43.730
Droege, Sam
Turned it in lateral view.

0:35:44.890 --> 0:35:46.180
Droege, Sam
Again, back in that.

0:35:47.320 --> 0:35:49.30
Droege, Sam
The rear end of the.

0:35:50.800 --> 0:35:51.910
Droege, Sam
The specimen.

0:35:53.70 --> 0:35:54.260
Droege, Sam
And you'll see.

0:35:56.480 --> 0:36:4.70
Droege, Sam
And I believe no other species has. This is not in any of the existing guides on Mitchell or not. Is this upturned knob?

0:36:5.870 --> 0:36:9.790
Droege, Sam
Which might were here because he is the person that observes these kinds of things.

0:36:10.800 --> 0:36:11.150
Droege, Sam
Oops.

0:36:12.840 --> 0:36:46.160
Droege, Sam
So you can see all the dark hairs and things like that, but you can also see this tooth like or upturn knob at the the very end of T6. So as far as I know, that's distinct. I've looked at a lot of celiacs. I've never seen none. Anything else. Possibly there's something out West that has that, but at this point for Eastern Celiacs, as we'll call that a Gimme, if it has that, I'm going on there. You can also see not a lot of architecture here compared to some of those other.

0:36:46.860 --> 0:36:51.770
Droege, Sam
And Aunt 6 on the backside compared to some of those other things that we saw earlier.

0:36:53.860 --> 0:36:56.30
Droege, Sam
Alright so.

0:36:57.200 --> 0:36:58.310
Droege, Sam
What time do we have, Claire?

0:36:59.760 --> 0:37:1.790
Maffei, Clare J
It is 138.

0:37:2.320 --> 0:37:2.670
Droege, Sam
OK.

0:37:3.710 --> 0:37:14.90
Droege, Sam
All right. So we'll move into some of the other species I'll mention as I'm putting away this specimen that there is a species dolichos.

0:37:14.830 --> 0:37:30.250
Droege, Sam
That is a nest parasite, or at least associated most often, and it seems likely because they're so similar in aspect called of magically zyla carpoids, which is a super dark.

0:37:31.970 --> 0:37:32.650
Droege, Sam
Black.

0:37:33.500 --> 0:37:42.990
Droege, Sam
Species and dolichos and again moving N just hitting the north here in Maryland. And so we just have gotten.

0:37:43.710 --> 0:37:56.740
Droege, Sam
Uh, so that is that a capoise wasn't known before we started either. Neither was dolichos its nest parasite, and we've gotten a few specimens of bellicose and silicon. Puedes is now throughout all the states, right up to the mountains.

0:37:57.960 --> 0:38:6.250
Droege, Sam
But don't Lacoste is Jack Black super distinct? You can just look at pictures and get an understanding of what's going on with that one.

0:38:7.190 --> 0:38:8.570
Droege, Sam
Alright, let me pull and out.

0:38:9.400 --> 0:38:9.880
Droege, Sam
Umm.

0:38:11.210 --> 0:38:12.860
Droege, Sam
A specimen.

0:38:15.40 --> 0:38:15.850
Droege, Sam
To.

0:38:19.810 --> 0:38:22.400
Droege, Sam
Had a couple southern specimens here.

0:38:23.540 --> 0:38:26.290
Droege, Sam
Which I've just run into a few times.

0:38:27.220 --> 0:38:42.410
Droege, Sam
And we may have to essentially run them through the guide here to get an understanding. They are often just extremely colorful, so they have red on the.

0:38:44.230 --> 0:38:45.0
Droege, Sam
Abdomen.

0:38:47.50 --> 0:38:49.60
Droege, Sam
And if we take a look here.

0:38:50.910 --> 0:38:52.20
Droege, Sam
So these are.

0:38:52.740 --> 0:39:1.710
Droege, Sam
Sloss, Sony and I believe they have a a, A basically a very Deep South. There's no records from Maryland a Deep South.

0:39:2.370 --> 0:39:3.30
Droege, Sam
Umm.

0:39:3.870 --> 0:39:4.780
Droege, Sam
Distribution.

0:39:5.830 --> 0:39:8.280
Droege, Sam
They took down a little bit more it this.

0:39:10.0 --> 0:39:10.690
Droege, Sam
Out of there.

0:39:12.930 --> 0:39:14.500
Droege, Sam
And you can see.

0:39:18.490 --> 0:39:28.530
Droege, Sam
From so this should be. There's a subspecies around a cola that this one is associated with this specimen here, but it's got a.

0:39:29.860 --> 0:39:38.110
Droege, Sam
Red abdomen tip are the T1 is bright red, lots of red on the legs.

0:39:39.100 --> 0:39:46.800
Droege, Sam
Umm, let's take a look here on the guide and see what some of the characters are.

0:39:47.880 --> 0:39:49.500
Droege, Sam
And if we go there?

0:39:50.700 --> 0:39:51.60
Droege, Sam
To.

0:39:51.140 --> 0:39:52.290
Droege, Sam
You.

0:39:58.400 --> 0:40:1.330
Droege, Sam
So here let's see, Medium Ridge is absent.

0:40:3.950 --> 0:40:8.100
Droege, Sam
And it has the two-minute teeth on T6.

0:40:9.130 --> 0:40:10.370
Droege, Sam
We take a look at the.

0:40:12.390 --> 0:40:13.120
Droege, Sam
Turn right.

0:40:23.240 --> 0:40:29.410
Droege, Sam
We can see that there's no Ridge. There's a a modified area without as much pits, but there's no.

0:40:32.760 --> 0:40:37.430
Droege, Sam
Ridge or Corina, if you will, along that edge.

0:40:38.490 --> 0:40:39.480
Droege, Sam
Along here.

0:40:40.560 --> 0:40:42.790
Droege, Sam
And you can see.

0:40:44.290 --> 0:40:46.240
Droege, Sam
The two teeth.

0:40:47.40 --> 0:40:52.550
Droege, Sam
Like in the other species there too, or at least that one has it on that side. I think this is just hidden.

0:40:54.520 --> 0:40:59.380
Droege, Sam
And if we go back to the guide and we scroll through here.

0:41:0.910 --> 0:41:7.220
Droege, Sam
Umm, he's so it's it's got a flat Clippy as it doesn't have that upturn like Banksy has.

0:41:8.170 --> 0:41:9.0
Droege, Sam
And.

0:41:10.480 --> 0:41:17.450
Droege, Sam
Ohh, let's so let's look at. So this is often very useful in terms of separating out species.

0:41:18.510 --> 0:41:24.700
Droege, Sam
We'll look at the skew Tellem and the meta Notum. Ohh is metamodel muscatel nut.

0:41:25.910 --> 0:41:28.220
Droege, Sam
Umm no podium.

0:41:29.280 --> 0:41:34.930
Droege, Sam
With these characters on it be a white hairs on the backside of those.

0:41:36.430 --> 0:41:41.460
Droege, Sam
So this is again something that's in the guide right up front and is useful for separating things out.

0:41:42.380 --> 0:41:42.810
Droege, Sam
But.

0:41:43.550 --> 0:41:49.340
Droege, Sam
Yeah, it will be good for us to demonstrate that a little bit. What that looks like other than in that drawing.

0:41:56.850 --> 0:41:57.360
Droege, Sam
If.

0:42:0.250 --> 0:42:18.470
Droege, Sam
We can sell. This is kind of cooped up, but we are looking in the right location here. So here's the prodigium. Here's the meta Notum, and here's the skew telum. And I'm not seeing much in the way of oppressed hairs and either of those areas.

0:42:20.890 --> 0:42:26.790
Droege, Sam
And if we go back, although it is a little goopy back there, we go back to the guide it shows.

0:42:27.370 --> 0:42:30.440
Droege, Sam
Umm that in the meta notum.

0:42:31.430 --> 0:42:41.40
Droege, Sam
That brown hair is usually sparse, present evenly across half or more the segment, and also scored for Donnelly are only in the center. I did not see that it might be.

0:42:41.660 --> 0:42:42.180
Droege, Sam
Umm.

0:42:45.360 --> 0:42:55.580
Droege, Sam
Because of the specimen, and this says absent or present. So that's not a this is not a great specimen to look at, since it seems like there's a lot of cross categories going on here.

0:42:57.580 --> 0:42:58.530
Droege, Sam
So.

0:43:1.240 --> 0:43:2.170
Droege, Sam
You look at the other.

0:43:4.610 --> 0:43:7.160
Droege, Sam
Specimen here and see if we can see a better.

0:43:7.950 --> 0:43:8.970
Droege, Sam
Look on this one.

0:43:10.310 --> 0:43:16.220
Droege, Sam
This is the other subgenus which I'm not sure is even in the guide, but was in Mitchell.

0:43:26.300 --> 0:43:27.570
Droege, Sam
And it might often.

0:43:28.320 --> 0:43:30.0
Droege, Sam
People would separate things out.

0:43:31.820 --> 0:43:43.610
Droege, Sam
By OK well here you can see the pressed hair is better. So here's scutellum. And here is the mid anode him and you can see that there's white hairs all the way across on that one.

0:43:44.610 --> 0:43:48.620
Droege, Sam
More easily than you could in the previous picture.

0:43:49.880 --> 0:43:52.340
Droege, Sam
Let's go back, I think to say aye.

0:43:54.320 --> 0:43:55.980
Droege, Sam
We'll take a look at that one.

0:44:7.60 --> 0:44:13.500
Droege, Sam
In terms of the oppressed hairs, and I believe that Modestus has nothing back there, there are no.

0:44:15.150 --> 0:44:17.380
Droege, Sam
Pressed hers at the backside.

0:44:20.520 --> 0:44:22.620
Droege, Sam
Alright, going back to say aye.

0:44:24.200 --> 0:44:25.730
Droege, Sam
Moving that in there.

0:44:27.710 --> 0:44:29.720
Droege, Sam
Hopefully this specimen isn't too.

0:44:30.620 --> 0:44:31.340
Droege, Sam
Cooped up.

0:44:34.860 --> 0:44:37.390
Droege, Sam
Here's a little bit goopy, but.

0:44:38.160 --> 0:44:39.550
Droege, Sam
There are some.

0:44:40.860 --> 0:44:46.590
Droege, Sam
Pressed hairs across the top here on the scutellum and a little bit on the meta notum.

0:44:47.740 --> 0:44:54.820
Droege, Sam
Just behind it, and here's a podium right below that. Let's see what the scoring is on that in the guide.

0:44:56.730 --> 0:45:0.100
Droege, Sam
And if we go, are we in?

0:45:1.300 --> 0:45:4.600
Droege, Sam
Let's go to menu. Go back to has.

0:45:5.620 --> 0:45:8.140
Droege, Sam
And go to.

0:45:9.830 --> 0:45:11.730
Droege, Sam
Let's see, we want to.

0:45:12.520 --> 0:45:19.990
Droege, Sam
Pick up the Forex meta node and prisons better like went hairs, so has.

0:45:20.740 --> 0:45:28.210
Droege, Sam
Umm, dominantly in the center on the Meta notum and say I is.

0:45:28.760 --> 0:45:30.710
Droege, Sam
Umm has at present.

0:45:33.430 --> 0:45:38.530
Droege, Sam
I think we want to look at a couple more of these things. Let's look at just because that's a.

0:45:43.530 --> 0:45:43.770
Droege, Sam
Yeah.

0:45:37.340 --> 0:45:48.210
Maffei, Clare J
Sam, can you check the other? UM, the present across half or more just to wonder how conservatively that is usually represented.

0:45:49.30 --> 0:45:50.830
Droege, Sam
Umm so.

0:45:50.180 --> 0:45:51.650
Maffei, Clare J
Wow, that really does limit it a lot.

0:45:52.60 --> 0:45:52.430
Droege, Sam
Yeah.

0:45:53.870 --> 0:45:54.90
Maffei, Clare J
Well.

0:45:53.570 --> 0:46:11.80
Droege, Sam
So on the methadone, that being wide coturnix which we don't have, hunter, I might have Mexican exo, don't the female? We saw that one going all the way across alternatus. This is these are pair. Maybe bring them up that are difficult to tell apart.

0:46:11.940 --> 0:46:14.40
Droege, Sam
I think I have specimens of both those.

0:46:26.400 --> 0:46:28.480
Droege, Sam
Why, you know, turn anada?

0:46:31.580 --> 0:46:33.350
Droege, Sam
Alternately, us.

0:46:34.450 --> 0:46:37.430
Droege, Sam
Right, so I seen all turned out as here.

0:46:41.400 --> 0:46:44.390
Droege, Sam
See if that's a good looking specimen.

0:46:54.640 --> 0:46:59.160
Droege, Sam
These are mostly males. Let's look for meals over here.

0:47:2.430 --> 0:47:3.500
Droege, Sam
In this one.

0:47:7.290 --> 0:47:8.30
Droege, Sam
No. OK.

0:47:6.120 --> 0:47:11.750
Maffei, Clare J
Why are these collections so male heavy? Is that something that we see in celiac's collections?

0:47:13.90 --> 0:47:14.210
Droege, Sam
Umm.

0:47:15.60 --> 0:47:21.140
Droege, Sam
Yeah, I'm not sure why. Maybe they're more visible on flowers or. And the females are busy hunting.

0:47:22.450 --> 0:47:34.330
Droege, Sam
Nests. OK, get the clay here. So what we're looking for is methanol item and white hairs across the entire segment.

0:47:36.470 --> 0:47:37.560
Droege, Sam
Run it back down.

0:47:44.630 --> 0:47:46.0
Droege, Sam
Bring it up a little bit.

0:47:52.650 --> 0:47:53.340
Droege, Sam
So.

0:47:54.160 --> 0:47:56.640
Droege, Sam
Here is the UM.

0:47:57.320 --> 0:48:4.330
Droege, Sam
Uh scutellum and the meta notum and you can see the white hairs running all the way across.

0:48:5.160 --> 0:48:14.760
Droege, Sam
At least the methanol item or the scutellum here was that the one we were looking at, we were looking at meta notum menom causes on half or more.

0:48:15.640 --> 0:48:18.70
Droege, Sam
Uh, this section and scutellum.

0:48:18.980 --> 0:48:19.900
Droege, Sam
Skip that off.

0:48:20.860 --> 0:48:22.890
Droege, Sam
And let's look at it, you tell them.

0:48:23.610 --> 0:48:24.180
Droege, Sam
Umm.

0:48:27.470 --> 0:48:35.530
Droege, Sam
And well, there's a lot that have that I see more oppressed hairs on the.

0:48:37.710 --> 0:48:38.20
Droege, Sam
Whoops.

0:48:40.770 --> 0:48:45.880
Droege, Sam
On the scutellum then the meta notum here, but it's not asking about the pattern.

0:48:47.470 --> 0:48:58.220
Droege, Sam
In hairs on the scutellum, even though it goes all the way across, it's just presence or absence. And here you can see these hairs are running all the way across.

0:48:59.980 --> 0:49:0.720
Droege, Sam
There.

0:49:1.780 --> 0:49:2.420
Droege, Sam
And.

0:49:3.720 --> 0:49:4.290
Droege, Sam
Umm.

0:49:5.550 --> 0:49:9.390
Droege, Sam
Some of them and I'm struggling a little bit with.

0:49:10.560 --> 0:49:20.400
Droege, Sam
Where the oppressed ones are on this specimen. Whether these are counting, so these are clearly oppressed errors and these, I think are.

0:49:21.110 --> 0:49:26.20
Droege, Sam
Obscure these longer hairs are obscuring the oppressed hairs below.

0:49:26.380 --> 0:49:29.210
Maffei, Clare J
Don't you need to be up a little bit more toward the head?

0:49:30.820 --> 0:49:32.290
Droege, Sam
Now we're looking at from the back.

0:49:34.580 --> 0:49:35.530
Maffei, Clare J
Right, but I think.

0:49:37.730 --> 0:49:42.900
Maffei, Clare J
If we're looking at the skew to ohmeda, OK, sorry. I thought we were a little further than we are.

0:49:44.600 --> 0:49:45.530
Maffei, Clare J
Yeah, just kidding.

0:49:40.360 --> 0:49:48.710
Droege, Sam
So yeah, there's there's a skew. Tell them. Yeah, there's actually. Yeah. This is a different view than our our normal ones.

0:49:50.10 --> 0:49:51.600
Droege, Sam
Umm so.

0:49:52.290 --> 0:49:52.870
Droege, Sam
Umm.

0:49:54.500 --> 0:50:7.880
Droege, Sam
Yeah. So we get rid of this. I'm not. I'm not super happy with what I'm looking at there in terms of whether they are what are listed as.

0:50:8.480 --> 0:50:17.220
Droege, Sam
Uh, half or more? Present mostly in the the center on the Meta notum on this. You tell them they're definitely present, but we don't ask what the distances are.

0:50:18.580 --> 0:50:47.500
Droege, Sam
But when we look at these, we see that they're scored for both being across half or more and present Donnelly in the center. So my guess is that we're looking at something that's most of the time just in the center of the segment and difficult to see because of the longer hairs we go back here. I think the appressed hairs are in there, couple of another specimen, but mostly in the center.

0:50:48.690 --> 0:50:49.340
Droege, Sam
And.

0:50:50.560 --> 0:50:54.800
Droege, Sam
Mostly oop. I may not have a mail another female here.

0:50:55.660 --> 0:50:56.190
Droege, Sam
Although.

0:50:57.910 --> 0:50:59.150
Droege, Sam
This you know already.

0:51:3.670 --> 0:51:4.370
Droege, Sam
OK, well.

0:51:5.500 --> 0:51:6.40
Droege, Sam
Umm.

0:51:7.130 --> 0:51:10.250
Droege, Sam
Yeah, a difficult to see situation I think.

0:51:12.980 --> 0:51:15.100
Droege, Sam
And I'm going to see if I can find.

0:51:15.800 --> 0:51:19.470
Droege, Sam
Umm, one of these other specimens with a better?

0:51:20.400 --> 0:51:24.930
Droege, Sam
Shot of the meta notum ohh this ones pretty good. So we're back to say I.

0:51:25.950 --> 0:51:34.120
Droege, Sam
Come back to Hunter I because it has very distinct that and alternatives have very distinct patterns on the head.

0:51:36.610 --> 0:51:43.320
Droege, Sam
But pulling this specimen can see the oppressed hair is really well on the Sai.

0:51:45.920 --> 0:51:47.760
Droege, Sam
Where on the meta node item.

0:51:49.460 --> 0:51:51.700
Droege, Sam
We're on the scutellum, which is the upper part.

0:51:52.440 --> 0:52:9.230
Droege, Sam
Here. So we're a little bit of bleakly, this is the skew dum, this is skew taum, we're looking not directly at the face here, but here's the skew. Tell them. So there's definitely white appressed hairs on there. And here's amid a note them and you can see, we'll zoom in a little bit better.

0:52:9.990 --> 0:52:13.120
Droege, Sam
The appressed hairs are only in the center.

0:52:14.360 --> 0:52:24.390
Droege, Sam
Uh, that one. And there's these longer hairs that I think had been confusing me. But you have to look between them to see the oppressed hairs in the middle.

0:52:27.260 --> 0:52:29.690
Droege, Sam
And then I believe modestos.

0:52:31.30 --> 0:52:34.100
Droege, Sam
Is the one or is one of them that has no.

0:52:35.320 --> 0:52:36.870
Droege, Sam
Umm. Here's whatsoever.

0:52:37.940 --> 0:52:39.730
Droege, Sam
In the.

0:52:41.640 --> 0:52:42.800
Droege, Sam
From a modest.

0:52:42.940 --> 0:52:43.210
Droege, Sam
No.

0:52:45.220 --> 0:52:47.220
Droege, Sam
In the center, let me just do a quick check.

0:52:48.650 --> 0:52:52.290
Droege, Sam
I'm saying I don't see this these well enough to have everything memorized.

0:52:55.210 --> 0:52:56.920
Droege, Sam
And if we look at?

0:52:58.100 --> 0:53:2.230
Droege, Sam
Ohm has and absent.

0:53:6.280 --> 0:53:14.340
Droege, Sam
Uh, we see molesta, but not modesta. So OK, I'm gonna stop fooling around with the appressed errors.

0:53:14.800 --> 0:53:16.460
Droege, Sam
Ohh aspect of this.

0:53:17.270 --> 0:53:23.400
Droege, Sam
And let's go on to Hunter. I so hunteri and Alternata have.

0:53:25.590 --> 0:53:28.240
Droege, Sam
A distinct swelling.

0:53:29.850 --> 0:53:32.450
Droege, Sam
Above the and around the a celly.

0:53:35.300 --> 0:53:39.270
Droege, Sam
And they also have. I'm looking at the.

0:53:40.410 --> 0:53:46.890
Droege, Sam
Trained in the situation like Modesta.

0:53:48.210 --> 0:53:49.170
Droege, Sam
We'll take a look at that.

0:53:50.440 --> 0:53:51.140
Droege, Sam
Which is.

0:53:52.320 --> 0:53:53.150
Droege, Sam
S6.

0:53:55.140 --> 0:53:58.150
Droege, Sam
Is convex on the side with the small.

0:53:59.30 --> 0:53:59.420
Droege, Sam
Umm.

0:54:0.420 --> 0:54:1.670
Droege, Sam
Piece on the top.

0:54:5.940 --> 0:54:6.730
Droege, Sam
But we're looking.

0:54:3.530 --> 0:54:8.30
Maffei, Clare J
So which one of those is actually a deck and also five and a warning?

0:54:8.520 --> 0:54:10.590
Droege, Sam
OK. We're on Hunter eye.

0:54:15.940 --> 0:54:23.330
Droege, Sam
And we'll wrap up with Hunter I and then next time I'll prepare a little bit more to get. I didn't think we'd get this far.

0:54:24.890 --> 0:54:31.0
Droege, Sam
To differentiate some of these trickier pairs. But let me turn this over. That's not very visible.

0:54:54.90 --> 0:54:57.680
Droege, Sam
Just not visible at all when I have it in a pin right in the way.

0:55:4.730 --> 0:55:6.350
Droege, Sam
Here we go. It's a little bit.

0:55:13.490 --> 0:55:34.20
Droege, Sam
So here we have a 6 again similar to modesta and whatever the last one we're looking at long spiky hairs. This is under the underside. Here you have a slightly convex broad triangle and a slightly different, but not noticeably different.

0:55:35.480 --> 0:55:41.290
Droege, Sam
Tip. In fact, I don't know if there is even a category for that, but it's basically just a big broad triangle.

0:55:42.550 --> 0:55:43.220
Droege, Sam
Now.

0:55:44.100 --> 0:55:47.470
Droege, Sam
The distinctive features of Hunter I.

0:55:49.970 --> 0:55:50.740
Droege, Sam
And.

0:55:52.130 --> 0:56:0.160
Droege, Sam
Alternata, I guess possibly Texana which is not when I see may have this too is. Are these swellings?

0:56:0.830 --> 0:56:1.500
Droege, Sam
On.

0:56:3.350 --> 0:56:4.760
Droege, Sam
And around the ocelli.

0:56:7.550 --> 0:56:9.880
Droege, Sam
And the patterns associated with them.

0:56:11.590 --> 0:56:12.210
Droege, Sam
Which?

0:56:14.330 --> 0:56:15.570
Droege, Sam
Are you useful? But.

0:56:20.0 --> 0:56:22.120
Droege, Sam
It's a tricky pair to tell apart.

0:56:23.60 --> 0:56:34.830
Droege, Sam
OK. So we'll leave it here, but you can see, here's the lateral ascella. There's the central ascella. This area is all swollen, and there's almost no pitch. It's like a almost like a donut.

0:56:36.870 --> 0:57:1.320
Droege, Sam
Shape around the central eseli and there's pits in incurring from the vertex and then from the the Super Clippable area there into that zone and that pattern it can be helpful in terms of separating out the the two, but that's another very distinct feature of this particular species.

0:57:2.890 --> 0:57:7.990
Droege, Sam
So I think I'll stop there and we'll tackle their remaining.

0:57:8.680 --> 0:57:15.150
Droege, Sam
Groups that I have specimens for and kind of go over their particular features and.

0:57:16.50 --> 0:57:16.590
Droege, Sam
Uh.

0:57:17.340 --> 0:57:20.50
Droege, Sam
You know, try and then we'll move into the males.

0:57:24.550 --> 0:57:31.20
Maffei, Clare J
Wonderful. This is such a smooth, smooth meeting. Loved it.

0:57:32.750 --> 0:57:49.840
Maffei, Clare J
I also meant to say earlier I was going through a computer transition and finally have all the third party applications I need, so I am a few weeks behind on uploads of things to the external site and teams and pictures and stuff like that. But.

0:57:51.50 --> 0:57:54.260
Maffei, Clare J
By next class I should have caught up on that. So just.

0:57:55.40 --> 0:58:0.390
Maffei, Clare J
Let you know if you are wondering what happened to the last month of classes.

0:58:1.610 --> 0:58:4.270
Maffei, Clare J
So yeah, same anything else?

0:58:5.690 --> 0:58:6.740
Droege, Sam
I can't think of anything.

0:58:8.800 --> 0:58:11.240
Maffei, Clare J
Fantastic. Well, we'll see you next week, everybody.

0:58:11.990 --> 0:58:20.550
Droege, Sam
All right. Thanks, Claire. Thanks for hosting and we hopefully will have Mike back. Ohh, I guess he's gonna be at a teaching a class next week too, so.

0:58:21.70 --> 0:58:23.750
Maffei, Clare J
Yes, him and Rob Gene, right?

0:58:25.460 --> 0:58:27.460
Droege, Sam
I think so. I'm not. I'm not sure.

0:58:28.160 --> 0:58:28.810
Maffei, Clare J
I think so.

0:58:28.850 --> 0:58:33.120
Droege, Sam
But we if you guys have a chance to take a class with them, that's always worthwhile.

0:58:34.330 --> 0:58:45.830
Maffei, Clare J
Next week is also next week and the week after our also the WASP ID course is running, so be there or be square except for I will be taking a break too.

0:58:46.520 --> 0:58:47.930
Maffei, Clare J
Clearly do our thing.

0:58:46.430 --> 0:58:50.180
Droege, Sam
Yeah, it sounds like we'll have OO next week, probably.

0:58:49.990 --> 0:58:50.980
Maffei, Clare J
Oscar on the 18th.

0:58:51.320 --> 0:58:53.690
Droege, Sam
Yeah, bumblebees of the.

0:58:52.290 --> 0:58:54.310
Maffei, Clare J
I was wrong. Not next week the 18th.

0:58:54.940 --> 0:58:58.510
Droege, Sam
Of Central America, Mexico and the southwest.

0:58:59.300 --> 0:59:3.340
Maffei, Clare J
Yes, that general area maybe. Maybe one day, maybe he'll come back.

0:59:4.390 --> 0:59:5.200
Maffei, Clare J
We will see.

0:59:5.720 --> 0:59:6.70
Droege, Sam
OK.

0:59:6.520 --> 0:59:8.830
Maffei, Clare J
OK, great. Have a great week everybody.

0:59:9.620 --> 0:59:10.180
Droege, Sam
Thanks Claire.

0:59:10.40 --> 0:59:11.30
Maffei, Clare J
Hi, thank you.
