  CALLOSPHEX 
  ERYTHROGASTRA, 
  new 
  species. 
  

  

  Superficially 
  this 
  species 
  looks 
  very 
  like 
  Palmodes 
  nifiventris 
  

   (Cresson), 
  but 
  it 
  differs 
  from 
  this 
  widely 
  in 
  the 
  structure 
  of 
  the 
  clypeus. 
  

   This 
  species 
  is 
  placed 
  in 
  the 
  genus 
  Callosphex 
  because 
  it 
  runs 
  there 
  in
