Because the syntype from "Sarepta" is not found in Paris (Coll. ANDRÉ) and "E. erythrocerus var." in fact not a 2 but a therefore I give only the differences between the ç$ examples and description without chriticizing KIEFFER'S description of 2 of this species. The lectotypc of E. erythrocerus var. represents, howewer, the allotype of E. erythrocerus KIEFFER (Hym. Type No. 68). The differences between the diagnosis (2 and var.) and the specimens above mentioned ($) are as follows: "yeux velus faiblement" in reality: eyes not hairy not even on fresh specimens compared with the hairyness of head, only a few tiny hairs are to be found; "partie déclive (du metanotum) lisse" correctly: finely, transversaly striate; "yeux . . . aussi longs qne leur distance du bord", eyes nearly three-quarters as broad as long (11 : 14) and nearly one and a half times longer than the distance of one from occiput; "Scape . . . aussi long que les trois articles suivants réunis, ceux-ci à peine plus longs que gros" incorrect, scape nearly as long as the two segments together (9 : 10), only segment 2 and 3 slightly longer than broad; "Prothorax un peu plus long que large" pronotum with collar shorter than pronotum distally (26 : 30); "Troisième segment abdominal un peu plus long que le 2 E " in fact: segment 2 distinctly longer than 3; "antennes roux" correctly: antennae brown. In addition to the description : head quadrate as long as broad (35 : 36) up to clypeus and including eyes, together with pronotum neither coriaceous nor alutaceous but smooth, very shining, with sparse and mainly on head with rather deep punctures (about) 12 punctures in a line between the eyes), only lower face slightly alutaceous towards the depression of antennái sockets ; above the antennae a shallow, short furrow is found longitudinally; frons slightly convex; eyes oval, rather truncate in front of mandibles, almost meeting them, about three-quarters as broad as long (11 : 14), separated by more than their two-thirds length from occiput (14 : 10) (on smaller specimen 11 : 7) ; ocelli in a right angle, posterior ones only a little further separated from one another than from anterior one (5 : 4), posterior ocelli are in a Fig. 11 —13.
