Triepeolus apache Onuferko & Rightmyer, 2024, sp. nov.

Triepeolus apache sp. nov. urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: F258D047-BDE1-4BF3-B66C-4ED58B55F2AF Figs 12B, 14, 15A Proposed common name Apache triepeolus. Diagnosis The following morphological features in combination tell T. apache sp. nov. apart from all other Triepeolus in the simplex species group except T. shoshone sp. nov.: the T1 basal band forms an inflexed arch and is thus gradually narrowed but not completely interrupted medially, such that the discal patch has a short, narrowed (i.e., inverted V-shaped) anteromedial projection (Figs 14B, 15A), and the legs are entirely reddish orange from trochanters to tarsi (Fig. 14A–C). Whereas in T. shoshone T2 and usually also T1 have complete apical transverse bands (see Remarks below), in T. apache the T1 apical transverse band is interrupted or (less commonly) at least narrowed medially and the T2 apical transverse band is narrowed or interrupted medially (Figs 14B, 15A). Although it might not be possible to separate certain individuals morphologically, throughout most of its range T. apache can be separated from T. shoshone by geography; the former is a southern species known only from the Southwestern United States and adjacent Mexico whereas the latter is a northern species whose known range extends from northern Arizona and northern New Mexico to Western Canada. Additionally, T. apache may be confused with T. hirsutus sp. nov. due to their small size and as the ranges of both species overlap considerably, but in T. hirsutus the mesopleura have sparse, pale-yellow, erect/suberect, simple setae (reaching about ½ MOD in length) in addition to the usual appressed, branched setae (as opposed to only appressed, branched setae or sparse, short (<¼ MOD), erect/suberect, simple setae in addition to the usual appressed, branched setae) and the T1 discal patch has an inverted U- or horseshoe-shaped anteromedial projection, with the basal band so deeply invaginated that it appears to be completely interrupted medially in dorsal view. Etymology This species is named for the Apache peoples, whose traditional territories span much of its known range.

Body length 7.5 mm; ITW 1.6 mm; head length 1.9 mm; head width 2.9 mm; fore wing length 5.9 mm. Both sexes INTEGUMENT COLORATION. Dark brown to black except as follows. Mandible with apical two-fifths golden yellow (entirely dark brown/black in some paratypes). Mandible with basal three-fifths; labrum along apical and lateral margins; scape, pedicel, and F1 extensively; succeeding flagellomeres to some extent; tegula; coxae to some extent; trochanters to tarsi (excluding metatibial spurs) entirely; metasomal terga laterally; pygidial plate to some extent; and metasomal sterna to some extent reddish orange. Fore wing membrane subhyaline, apically dusky. Hind wing membrane dusky subhyaline to hyaline. PUBESCENCE. Face with tomentum densest around antennal socket. Clypeus, upper paraocular and frontal areas, and vertexal area mostly exposed. Pronotal collar with tomentum uniformly pale yellow. Mesoscutum with well-defined paramedian band of pale-yellow tomentum; pale tomentum otherwise mostly restricted to lateral and posterior margins. Metanotum with tomentum rubbed off medially in holotype, but uninterrupted and uniformly off-white in paratypes. Propodeal triangle mostly glabrous, with (pale) setae restricted to small lateral patches. T1 with apical transverse band of pale-yellow tomentum interrupted medially (narrowed medially in some paratypes), transverse bands subparallel, discal patch transversely oblong or trapezoidal with short, narrowed (i.e., inverted V-shaped) anteromedial projection. T2–T4 with complete apical transverse bands of pale-yellow tomentum (that of T2 narrowly interrupted medially in some paratypes), those of T2–T3 m
