Abstract

In his "Monograph of the Solitary Wasps," H. de Saussure describes, under the name "Eumenes dyschera," an insect stated to have come from tropical Africa. The species has been generally ignored since. In my "Revision of the Vespidae of the Belgian Congo" (1918), I attempted to recognize it in a melanistic color phase of E. campaniformis (Fabricius), occasionally met with in the Belgian Congo. There were, however, several points in which the description disagreed with the Congo specimens.
