Popis: Ammophila pruinosa Cresson (Figures 1, 4, 7, 12, 14) Ammophila pruinosa Cresson, 1865: 455, Colorado, 10 females, 3 males (ANSP). Lectotype female, designated by Cresson, 1916: 94. Examined. Identification: The ventral spine of the male penis valve forms a distinctive C-shape in lateral view, which immediately identifies this sex (Fig. 12). Females have a short flagellomere I which is 0.47���0.53 X the LID. Female flagellomeres I���II are comparatively shorter, stouter than in nancy (compare Figs. 14���15) The labrum is more elongate than that of nancy and the apex is somewhat rounded. The short mouthparts differentiate pruinos a from californica (compare Figs 9���10). Geographic distribution: Widespread in western North America (mostly west of the 100 th Meridian) from Nebraska and Texas west to British Columbia and southern California and Baja California. The species occurs as far south in Mexico as the state of Oaxaca.
