Abstract
The Palaearctic species-groups of the digger wasp genus Oxybelomorpha Brauns 1897, O. persa and O. steckii, are revised. Three species were investigated. Oxybelomorpha steckii (Kohl 1923) and O. maroccana (de Beaumont, 1957) are considered separate species. The male of O. maroccana is described for the first time. The lectotype of Belomicrus (Pseudoxybelus) persa Gussakovskij, 1933 is designated. A key to 24 revised species of the genus Oxybelomorpha is given.
