situated between legs III and IV; ventral side of legs I and II with pulvillus, each accompanied by 2 claw-shaped appendages. Propodosoma of deutonymphs without „ocellus", but a dark spot within body discernible in median line. End of body character­istically and angulately elongated. Coxal fields 1 and 3 emitt­ing one pair of hairs each. Legs I-III with praetarsus and a well developed claw,missing from leg IV.All legs with a strong, conically incrassate spine, leg III dorsally with 3 thin, fla­gellate hairs, ventrally merely with incrassate spines. Besides 2 elongated terminal hairs, leg IV with merely spines, both dorsally and ventrally. Type-species: Sphexicozela connivens sp.n. Remarks: The new genus belongs to the relationship of Calvolia Oudemans, 1911. The imagos differ mainly by the singularly co­niform dorsal hairs and the cristate propodosomatic shield, the males by the location of the genital organ and the correspon­dingly short epimeres 4. In the heretofore described Calvolia males, the genital organ is situated invariably between or slightly behind legs IV, with apodemes 4 constituing a trans­versal arc, or at least considerably approaching each other, before it. The deutonymphs can be easily separated from those of both Calvolia Oudemans, 1911, and Vidia Oudemans, 1905, on the basi3 of their peculiar body shape, the not-„ocellated" state, the lack of lanceolate setae on legs I and II, and the special chaetotaxy of legs III and IV. Sphexicozela connivens sp.n. Female Length: 443-450 /<,, width: 264-270 p. Dorsal side (Fig.l): Propodosomatic shield large. Except for
