Diagnosis: Diagnostic charcters to differentiate from other Eudorylas species are missing in the original description. Only characteristic suitable for recognition mentioned are: the shining black thorax and scutellum. Type material (not examined): [based on Becker 1914:] Kenya : 1♂ , HT, Naivasha , train station, 1.900 m , 1st December, 1911 ( ZMHB , lost) Male (translated from Latin) Head . Antennae black, third segment acuminate. Vertex shining black, face and frons white; eyes contiguous. Thorax . Thorax and scutellum shining black, not pilose. Humeri yellow, halter brownish yellow. Legs. Yellow, with black stripe (as a patch) in the middle of the femora. Last tarsal segments black. Ventroapical row of spines missing on femora. Wing. Fumose, pterostigma dark. Abdomen . Polished, bare, shining copper coloured. Hypopygium black, indistinctly divided, cleft (probably m.a.) small. Female—Unknown. Remarks —Description is based on the original Type seems to be lost according to H. Wendt, ZMHB (pers. comm.). Becker (1914: 126) gives the type specimen as female in the line, where the label data are given, but he must have seen a male, since the eyes are touching on the frons (“oculis contiguis”). This is probably a type setting error, since in a later paper Becker (1915) mentions only males. Hardy (1949 a ) mentions a specimen from West Africa which matches Becker's description, but the identity is doubtful, since Hardy did not see the type either. Distribution— Kenya .
