the genus Odynerus occurring in the Ethiopian Region. 509 



Chilanga {R. C. Wood) ; Upper Luangwa River, vii.-viii. 

 1910 ; Mouth of Lusangazi River, ix. 1910 ; Niamadzi River, 

 2000 ft., viii. 1910; {S. A. Neave). S.E. Congo Free 

 State: Lufira River, Katanga, 3500 ft., viii. 1907 {S. A. 

 Neave). Nyasaland : valley of S. Rukuru River, 3000 ft., 

 xi. 1910 {S. A. Neave). The specimen from Nyasaland is 

 not quite typical, the scutellum, postscutellum and median 

 segment on the side being largely ferruginous. 



0. (Lionotus) pulchellus, (Gerst) . 



Rhynchium pulchellum, Gerst., Mon. Akad. Wiss. Berlin, 

 p. 463 (1857) (^. Peters, Reise nach Mossambique, 

 Zool. V, p. 466. PI. XXX, fig. 5. 



This species is certainly an Odynerus, as the fig. (I.e.) 

 suggests. 



In the British Museum there is a long series from the 

 following localities : — 



N. Rhodesia: 15 miles E. of Sijoba, vii. 1910 (Silver- 

 lock Coll.) ; Niamadzi River, 2000 ft., Luangwa River, 

 1910; British East Africa: Mtito Andei, 2000 ft., 

 Masongaleni, 3000 ft., Voi, 1800 ft., iii. 1911; Nyasa- 

 land: Chitala Stream, x. 1910; Valley of N. Rukuru, 

 Karonga District, 3000-4000 ft., vii. 1910; German 

 East Africa: Usagara District, xii. 1910 (S. A. Neave). 



Odynerus (Lionotus) rhynchoides, Sauss. 



0. rhynchoides, Sauss. Et fam. Vesp. i, p. 174 (1852) (J 



(Senegal). 

 0. saussurei, E. Andre, Hymen. d'Europe et d'Algerie, ii, 

 p. 682 (1881) ? (Egypt, Abyssinia). 



This species is widely distributed. In the British 

 Museum are specimens from the Gambia, 2 9$, Tajura 

 (Straits of Bab-el-Mandeb) 1 $ and Biskra, vi. 1897 (E. 

 Saunders Coll.) 2 $$, 1 (^. The latter specimens were 

 identified as 0. saussurei, but they agree in every respect 

 with 0. rhynchoides, of which I have examined the type 

 specimen, through the courtesy of the Paris Museum 

 officials. 



0. (Lionotus) pseudolateralis, sp. n. 



$. Ferrugineus, abdomine nigro, lateribus flavis ; segmento sexto 

 ferrugineo. Tegulis plerumque flavis. Alis basi subhyalinis, apice 

 fuscis. Long. 12 mm.
