O. stenops ♀, ant. 23.
O. sp. ♂, ant. 29 : in many ways agree [[but?]]
with ♀ of [[migrinonies mihi?]] , but antennae + tergite [[?]]
seem too pale to belong here!

a ♂ probably this species, ant. bitten off short;
also a third ♀ probably same species, ant. tips missing

semi[[?]] propodeum, [[?]] nearly 1/2 abdomen; ant. 17, slender.

fit anything.
A.  fuscicornis Hal. a puny ♂, ant bitten off.
A.  cf.  clara ? A larger ♂ than last, with curved,
instead of straight, 3rd [[abeimra?]] cf radius;  perhaps
a very small ♂ clana with rather dark tergite 1 +
only 18 reg. antennae.
A. carinata sp n. Type! ♂ Like efoveolata in head, + no dimple,
but spiracle quite small, body black, hind tibiae pale at 1
base fuscous at apex, tarsi fuscous; tergite 1 long
with keel in centre to apical smooth tubercle, ant. 25.
Like truncata, but propodeum not truncate, not
