Ammophila separanda F. Morawitz 1891: 204, ♀, ♂. Lectotype, here designated: ♀, Kazakhstan: West Kazakhstan region, Ryn Peski (ZISP), examined.
Ammophila separanda: Kohl 1906b: 321, 375 (as a tentative variety of Ammophila campestris); Myartseva 1971: 77; 1972a: 86; Kazenas 1972b: 101; 1978: 37; Bohart & Menke 1976: 153 (as tentative synonym of Ammophila campestris); Pulawski 1978: 182; Nazarova 1998: 40; Danilov 2010: 45; Dollfuss 2013a: 394, 404, 486; 2013b: 584; Pulawski 2015.
Diagnosis. The female and male of A. separanda are most similar to A. vetuberosa Li & Yang, 1994 and A. asiatica Tsuneki, 1971. Ammophila vetuberosa differs from A. separanda in having the forecoxa with an apical tooth. The female of A. separanda differs from A. asiatica in having a red petiole (S1) rather than a black one, and the male in having a shiny mesoscutum (mesoscutum is dull and transversely microstriate in A. asiatica).
