Show 1893.] HYMENOPTERA OF THE FAMILY ODYNERIDJE. 689 ODYNERUS MAYPINUS. Odynerus maypinus, Sauss. in Gay, p. 564 (1852). Also described from a single male specimen. May possibly be the male of 0. antuco. ODYNERUS RUFICOLLIS. Odynerus ruficollis, Spin. 1. c. p. 259 (1851). Described from a single female specimen. ODYNERUS YESPIFORMIS. Odynerus vespiformis, Haliday, Trans. Linn. Soc. xvii. p. 323 (1837). Odynerus hirsutus, Spin. 1. c. p. 257 (1851). A very common and distinct species. ODYNERUS GAYI. Odynerus gayi, Spin. 1. c. p. 260 (1851). A northern species; commoner in Copiapo than to the south. ODYNERUS SOTOI, sp. nov. Allied to 0. gayi, but larger, stouter, and with the last joint of antennae in male recurved, forming a hook. 2 . Head finely and closely, thorax thickly and roughly, punctured. Abdomen finely and distantly punctured. Head and thorax dull, abdomen shining, black. Antennae, legs, and clypeus rust-red. A spot above the insertion of the antennae, a line behind the eyes, anterior § of pronotum, tegulae, spot at root of wings, two squarish spots on scutellum, a fine on postscutellum, posterior margins of metathorax, extremity of the first three abdominal segments, reddish yellow. Coxae black, intermediate pair reddish anteriorly. Clypeus hexagonal, very wide above; legs stout; apex of tibiae and tarsi with short spiny hairs. Length 15 millim., wing 11 millim. I received specimens of this species, from Copiapo, in alcohol, which may account for the reddish tint of its markings; these are probably yellow during life. I have only one male, not in good condition, so that I cannot describe it at length. ODYNERUS ARAUCANUS. Odynerus araucanus, Sauss. Reise Novara, Hym. p. 14, pi. fig. 8 (1868). I do not know this species. ALASTOR ANGULICOLLIS. Odynerus angulicollis, Spin. 1. c. p. 261 (1851). Very rare. I have one male specimen. |
