Eudorylas parvifrons ( Loew, 1858) View in CoL
Pipunculus parvifrons Loew 1858: 375 View in CoL [ 1860: 356]
Diagnosis: Third antennal segment very long acuminate; ocellar triangle unusually small. No specimen examined.
Type material (not examined): South Africa: males, “Cap.” [leg. Tollin] [based on Loew 1858].
Male (based on Loew 1860, translated from German)
Head. Third antennal segment very long acuminate; black. Face very narrow, much narrower than in E. aculeatus , black with inconspicuous white shine. Ocellar triangle exceptionally small, black, somewhat shining. Eyes touching for very long distance, ocelli enlarged in this region (characteristic for females).
Thorax. Mesonotum and scutellum black with brownish grey pollinosity, ventrally and below the scutellum with “pale as ashes” pollinosity.
Legs. Femora black, base and tip brownish yellow. Tibiae and tarsal segments brownish yellow (last tarsus dark brown), tibiae with an uncertain brown ring in the middle.
Wing. Glassy with greyish colour. Fourth costal section about as long as third costal section. Cross-vein R-M slightly beyond 1/3 of discal cell. Pterostigma dark brown, almost fully coloured. The section of the m between the two cross-veins strongly bent.
Abdomen. Black-brown, with silver pollinosity, more greyish on the hind margins laterally. Genitalia undissected: black brown, somewhat shining.
Female—Unknown.
Remarks —The redescription is based on Loew (1858 and 1860). Type material (several specimens based on the original description) seem to be lost according to H. Wendt, MNHU. (pers. comm.). The collector of the types is dubious: “B. Sp.” is given in Loew (1858: 375), and “Tollin.” in Loew (1860: 356).
Distribution— South Africa.
