New records of    Celonites   tauricus    Kostylev, 1935 are reported from Chios, Rhodes, Samos (Greece), Dagestan (Russia), Georgia, and the main portion of Azerbaijan (previous records were made from the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic only). Flower visits of imagines were observed at six species of   Lamiaceae  , four of them being recorded for the first time as forage plants of    C.   tauricus   . The newly recorded    Teucrium   canum    Fisch. &amp; C.A. Mey. and    Ziziphora   taurica    M. Bieb. (both   Lamiaceae  ) are principal forage plants in Dagestan and the Crimea, correspondingly. The behaviour of females at flowers of    Z.   taurica    differs from that previously described at flowers of    Teucrium   chamaedrys    L. and    Satureja   thymbra    L. (also   Lamiaceae  ) in that pollen removal from the anthers and nectar uptake take place separately from each other in temporal succession. This difference is obviously caused by the flower structure of the genus    Ziziphora   , specifically its much longer corolla tube. Females also try to collect pollen from flowers of   Salvia   nemorosa   subsp.   tesquicola   (Klokov &amp; Pobed.) Soó but usually without success, while nectar uptake from this species is successful. The specialized morphological structures of the females for pollen-uptake from the nototribic anthers and pollen-transfer from the exoskeleton to the mouthparts are described. They are similar to those of the closely related    Celonites   abbreviatus    (Villers, 1789), and consist of specialized stiff “knobbed” pollen-collecting setae covering the anterior surface of the head, particularly the frons and the clypeus, as well as comb-like rows of specialized, particularly strong pollen-brushing setae along the anterior margins of the inner surface of the first and the second segments of the fore tarsi. Males of    C.   tauricus    patrol in flight along the forage plants of the females. Successful copulations occur either on flowers or on the ground.

New distributional records of Celonites tauricus ( Hymenoptera , Vespidae , Masarinae ) and new data on its behaviour at flowers
